Heavy rains and strong winds triggered severe flooding and landslides in #Tanzania’s Mbeya region, affecting communities in Rungwe and Kyela districts at the start of the 2026 Masika season.
With support from the @IFRC_DREF, the Tanzania Red Cross Society (@trcs1962) will assist 523 households (2,615 people) with urgent support in health, WASH, shelter, protection, gender and inclusion, and community engagement.
As climate-related risks continue to affect communities across East Africa, early and flexible humanitarian funding remains critical to helping people recover with dignity.

The toll of El Niño-induced rains and flooding coupled with Cyclone #Hidaya across Eastern Africa is staggering.
Over 600,000 people have been affected in Kenya and Tanzania. @KenyaRedCross and @trcs1962 continue to support affected families working with @IFRC.
Tropical Cyclone Hidaya is approaching the coast of Tanzania with expected winds and possible flooding rains.
Red Cross teams in the regions expected to be affected have started mobilizing volunteers.
Teams from Tanzania Red Cross @trcs1962 are working with local communities and government spreading early warning messages and preparedness activities.
Early warning early action is key at this time.
We @IFRC are on stand by as needed.
