Nearly 4.9 million people in Mozambique faced high levels of acute food insecurity during the lean season from October 2024 to March 2025, according to the 2025 Global Report on Food Crises released by the Global Network Against Food Crises (GNAFC), an international alliance comprising United Nations, governmental and non-governmental agencies.
The crisis was driven by El Nino-induced drought, which brought rainfall deficits and high temperatures during the 2023/2024 agricultural season. Storms and cyclones worsened the situation. Tropical Storm Filipo in March 2024 and Cyclone Chido in December 2024 damaged a combined 58,000 hectares of cropland and affected key infrastructure.
