Juma Ignatius, Senior Policy Advisor, Climate Action and Disaster Risk Reduction, Disaster Management, brings our attention to the recent Mozambique floods that are often framed as natural disasters, but in reality, it is a story of global inequality, climate inaction and decades of neglect paid for by children who did nothing to cause the crisis. As emergency aid is repeated and preparedness is ignored, based on the negotiations within the UNFCCC spaces, Juma argues that without a shift to Disaster Risk Reduction, Anticipatory Action and climate-resilient development, disasters will continue to steal childhoods.

This article highlights the severe flooding that struck Fungurume in Lualaba Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo, on 1 February 2026, affecting more than 3,200 people. Occurring in the midst of an ongoing cholera outbreak, the disaster has created a dual emergency, increasing risks of waterborne diseases, malaria, school disruption, and child protection concerns. With homes, schools, and health centres inundated, families face heightened vulnerability, particularly children. The article underscores the need for a rapid, coordinated, and child-centred humanitarian response focused on health, WASH, education continuity, shelter, and protection to prevent a worsening secondary crisis.

In August 2025, World Vision, in close partnership with the Ministry of Health (MoH), delivered a three‑week Emergency Delivery Training programme, equipping 121 nurses, doctors, and midwives with the skills needed to respond to maternal and newborn emergencies.
