Namibia has approved about N$1.8 million (US$100,000) in humanitarian aid to Malawi following a request from that country for the rehabilitation of the victims of Tropical Cyclone Freddy last month. According to the United Nations, about US$70 million is needed to rehabilitate the country.

A draft assessment report estimates that 2.3 million people have been affected by the cyclone, with 1.6 million severely food insecure, over 650,000 people displaced, and over 600 deaths.
