Movement is the last consequence of an emergency cascade that overlap in the country – including armed violence, climate shocks, disease epidemics and a lack of serious funding. Since January, more than 95,000 people have fled insecurity in Cabo Delgado and humanitarian access has become more and more fragile.
According to the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs Coordination (Ochha), the attacks of armed groups between July 20 and 28 triggered the displacement of at least 46,667 people in the districts of Chiúre, Ancuabe and Muidumbe.
Chiúre was the hardest shot, with more than 42,000 uprooted people – more than half of them.
“” Insecurity persists and people in moving often lack civil documentation,“Ocha said in a humanitarian bulletin SATURDAY. “” These challenges may have an impact on the ability of displaced people to move freely and access basic services in complete safety and maintain their livelihoods.“”
Children separated from families
The attacks in Chiúre Velho, Ocua and Mazeze led families to Chiúre Sede, where they were sheltered in overcrowded conditions in the districts of Bairro Micone and Barro Namicir. The reports indicate a high number of unaccompanied or separate children.
Food, refuge and essential non -food items are reported as the most urgent needs, according to humanitarian partners.
The security situation in the Ancuabe district has also deteriorated quickly. According to the United Nations International Organization for Migration (Iom), the number of displaced families has almost tripled in a week, reaching 444 households (1,946 people), including more than 1,200 children. Violence forced residents of the village of Nanduli to take refuge in Chiote and Ancuabe Sede.
In Muidumbe, fighters would have burned houses in the village of Magia and would have opened fire near Mumane. Nearly 500 families fled to nearby travel sites, where humanitarian access remains limited.
Protection problems, limited funding
The OCHA stressed that by virtue of international law, civilians must be authorized to seek security and to freely choose their destination. But insecurity, lack of documentation and involuntary relocations are risks of aggravating protection.
At the same time, The response of the help remains sub-finance.
In July, only 19% of the Mozambique humanitarian response plan in 2025 was funded. Of the 352 million dollars requested, only $ 66 million have been received – forcing agencies to reduce their response targets by more than 70%. They now aim to help only 317,000 people, against the target of 1.1 million at the start of the year.
“” Urgent and sustained funding is essential to prevent additional deterioration and meet the growing humanitarian needs which remain as acute and widespread as ever,“The ochha report warned.
