The resumption of traffic on National Highway Number One (N1) in Anchilo, between the city of Nampula and Nacala-Porto, has saved the provincial capital of Nampula from fuel shortages.
Graciano Francisco, spokesperson for the Council for the Representation of Provincial State Services (CRESP) in Nampula, said that the opening of a detour in the Anchilo area [around 15 kilometres from Nampula city] while work is being carried out on the cut-off section meant fuel trucks were already transporting fuel from Nacala to supply the city’s gas stations.
“There are no longer fuel trucks queuing in the destroyed area waiting to enter or leave the city. With the detour, many suppliers are able to reach the Port of Nacala and deliver the product,” Francisco said.
The closure of the N1 in Anchilo also affected some other districts and provinces, such as Niassa and Zambézia, which depend on Nacala-Porto to restock on fuel and other products.
The spokesperson was speaking at the end of the Ordinary Session of CRESP, which discussed several points, with emphasis on the epidemiological situation, the rainy and cyclonic season, assistance and social integration of combatants and their dependents, implementation of the 100-day action plan of governance, among others.
Regarding the epidemiological situation in the province, Francisco noted that 1,143 cases and 30 deaths from cholera had been reported in four districts. Diarrhoea cases had fallen by eight percent, but deaths from the disease have increased by 20% compared to the first two months of 2024.
In February, eight patients with suspected viral conjunctivitis were reported, with four samples collected, three of which, from the Eráti district, tested positive.
