1.瓜拉瓜拉發放
Welcome to Da Ai Headlines. I'm Siri Su. Thank you for joining us. Mozambique was devastated by Hurricane Eloise last month. In Buzi, about 10,000 residents were evacuated to tent areas set up by the government. However, the food there is limited. Therefore, Tzu Chi volunteers have prepared corn starch, beans, cooking oil, and utensils and delivered them to the affected residents.
