The EU has supported Tanzania with an additional €100,000, an uplift from an earlier allocation of €100,000 to the TRCS last December. Kelvin Mutagwaba, press officer for the EU delegation, said in a statement yesterday that the EU issued the grants in response to flooding, bringing the total contribution to the flooding response to €200 000 in the past six months. The response comes in the wake of heavy rains associated with the El Niño phenomenon, which resulted in massive flooding and landslides claiming lives and destroying thousands of homes in many parts of the country, he said. As the situation has not improved for many affected households, the new EU funding will enable the health sector NGO to deliver urgently needed assistance, scaling up lifesaving and emergency relief to the most vulnerable, especially displaced people and those whose homes were destroyed, the statement noted.
