Mozambique’s conflict-ravaged Cabo Delgado province is sliding deeper into a humanitarian emergency, aid agencies have warned. At least 919,000 people require support, yet only about half are receiving assistance.
Johanniter International Assistance identified healthcare, food, education and protection as the most pressing priorities. The UN said violence has displaced more than 26,000 people since the beginning of the year, with women and children making up the majority.
A severe funding gap is further constraining relief operations. So far, donors have provided just 34% of the UN’s US$348 million appeal for Mozambique’s 2026 response plan.
