Save the Children said that children as young as 11 have been targeted by violence and beheaded in the gas-rich Cabo Delgado province, northeast Mozambique, during a jihadist insurgency in the region.
One mother, whose name was withheld to protect her identity, told Save the Children that her 12-year-old son was beheaded as she hid with her three other children. A second mother said she had been unable to bury her son, who armed men killed after she had to leave her home for her own safety.
