To provide humanitarian assistance, the French Navy has deployed its amphibious helicopter carrier Tonnerre and surveillance frigate Nivose to Mozambique.

The amphibious helicopter carrier Tonnerre left Mayotte on 25 March while the frigate Nivose departed Reunion on 26 March. Both vessels have delivered humanitarian cargo to Beira, which was badly affected by Cyclone Idai in mid-March

The French defence ministry on 26 March said nearly 700 soldiers, sailors and airmen have been mobilised under Operation Caouanne. On March 22 a C-160 Transall made a first airlift of emergency humanitarian logistical equipment (tents warehouses, generators, lighting kits, tools etc.) between Reunion and Beira.

The French assets will pay a courtesy visit at Navy fleet headquarters at Simon’s Town in mid-April.
