Thousands flee their homes once more in northern Mozambique


Resurgent violence in northern Mozambique has forced more than 7,000 mainly women and children from their homes in recent weeks.

Non-state armed groups are behind the emergency in Cabo Delgado province, which now hosts more than 205,000 displaced people across 84 sites.

The UN International Organization for Migration, IOM, is providing emergency and longer-term assistance to the most vulnerable individuals. For more details, Dana Graber Ladek, IOM Chief of Mission in Mozambique, spoke to UN News’s Daniel Johnson, from Maputo.
