In late May, the UN and partner organizations increased the Tropical Cyclone Kenneth flash appeal from $85.2 million to $103.7 million to support the needs of cyclone- and drought-affected populations in Mozambique through June 2019. The additional $18.5 million is requested for the Food Security Cluster (FSC) to address food security and livelihoods needs for a period of three months; the original appeal only covered FSC programming for two months. The UN revised the Mozambique Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) to include the Cyclone Kenneth flash appeal, bringing the total HRP requirements to $440.9 million to provide assistance to an estimated 2.8 million people in Mozambique. As of May 31, donors had funded nearly 33 percent of the HRP request.
