Mozambique: Cabo Delgado prepares to face humanitarian crisis after foreign aid cuts

The Mozambican government and humanitarian agencies working in Cabo Delgado continue to search for alternatives to deal with the humanitarian crisis, caused by a prolonged armed conflict and aggravated by severe weather events, following Donald Trump’s announcement of funding cuts at the UN, which provided the largest assistance to that province.

The armed conflict in northern Mozambique still displaces more than 670,000 people and depend on humanitarian assistance to survive, at a time when external humanitarian aid has been reduced in Cabo Delgado, with several organizations closing their doors and suspending development projects in the province. Several United Nations agencies have warned of the global impact of cuts in foreign aid funds announced by the US government, which has led the humanitarian aid sector in the world, including in Mozambique.
