The US military is to end its support to international efforts in response to Cyclone Idai by April 13.
A statement by AFRICOM says the military has completed all the requirements identified by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
“It was important to provide relief and assistance to the Government of the Republic of Mozambique and those affected this national disaster. Working alongside the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Agency for International Development and international partners, U.S. Africa Command provided assistance to Mozambique when they desperately needed it most,” commander AFRICOM Marine Corps General Thomas Waldhauser said.
USAID and other international aid organisations will continue to deliver essential supplies to assist the people of Mozambique.
US government agencies will transition to distributing supplies via non-military means.
AFRICOM says 100 US service members were deployed to Mozambique to support US government relief efforts within days of Idai making landfall in March.
At least 600 people have been killed and tens of thousands others displaced by Cyclone Idai which affected Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi.
The World Bank estimates that Cyclone Idai caused at least $2 billion in damages and affected three million people.
