At noon on 29 March, 2019, a Casa C-295H cargo aircraft carrying 5.2 tonnes of vital food relief touched down on a short runway in flood-hit Espungabera, Mozambique. Aeroplanes are not a rare sight for the people of Espungabera. They see them overflying their town regularly. But this time it was different. The aircraft had come for them, to them. A small crowd looked on with relief. As they gathered around the plane, stories were told about washed away homes, lost family members and destroyed farmlands.
