The Government of Ireland has already provided, since last year, about 16,700 thousand meticais for humanitarian assistance to displaced victims of terrorism in Cabo Delgado province, and, according to the local government, the population is receiving the necessary care.

In addition to food assistance to the displaced people, the money is being used to purchase household utensils, construction materials, and shelter kits, among others.

The information was advanced recently in Lichinga, capital of Niassa, during a meeting between the Executive Council and the Irish Embassy.

The Governor of Niassa, Elina Judite Massengele, thanked Ireland for its support to people forced to leave their home areas.

"We appreciate the support from primary care to the promotion of family incomes in the Mecula special reserve and that it has made a positive impact on that population. Ireland's support is making a difference in the lives of our population and the sustainable development of our province," said Massengele.
