Cabo Delgado. More than 7000 people flee in a month of attacks
Over 7,000 people have been displaced in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province due to violence from extremist groups, according to the IOM. The recent wave of insecurity has forced many families to flee multiple times, with women and children making up nearly 80% of those affected. The IOM highlights urgent needs for food, shelter, and healthcare, as local communities struggle to accommodate the influx of displaced individuals. The Mozambican government confirmed new attacks in the region, raising concerns about agricultural production and the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Despite recent improvements, the threat from extremist violence persists.
