MAPUTO - The World Bank has increased emergency support for the three southern African countries affected by a devastating cyclone that killed hundreds in March to $700 million, the lender said on Friday.
New World Bank President David Malpass, who is in Africa for his first foreign trip, said the lender was still assessing the damage caused by Cylcone Kenneth that slammed the island nation of Comoros and then northern Mozambique last month. Mozambique, which was hardest hit by the cyclone, would receive $350 million in CRW financing to re-establish the water supply, rebuild damaged public infrastructure and support disease prevention, among other things, the World Bank said.
