Storm-affected communities receive strong assurance of government relief efforts

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-On Monday, December 1, 2025, Malawi’s Vice President shared insights from her recent mission to Mangochi and Thyolo, where she travelled to assess the impact of the destructive storm rains on affected families.

Reflecting on the visit, the country’s deputy leader expressed gratitude to God for protecting the nation, noting that despite the severity of the storm, no lives were lost.

Her tour enabled her to witness the extent of the damage firsthand and engage in meaningful discussions with residents whose homes and livelihoods had suffered.

These interactions reinforced the administration’s resolve to prioritise support for every household struck by the disaster.

The Vice President also commended President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika for his unwavering leadership in disaster management and for ensuring swift emergency responses across the country.

Current assessments show that more than 2,421 households nationwide have been affected by various storm-related incidents since the rainy season began.

She noted that the increase in weather-related emergencies highlights the growing unpredictability of the climate and urged citizens to remain vigilant.

The Vice President reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting communities facing hunger and hardship during this challenging period.

Part of the relief effort includes the continued distribution of maize to vulnerable families, a programme that will run until the next harvest.

She concluded her remarks with a heartfelt prayer, asking God to continue safeguarding the people of Malawi as they rebuild and recover.
