Mozambique: Displacement continues in Cabo Delgado

More than 50,000 people have been displaced in Mozambique’s northern Cabo Delgado province in recent weeks following a new wave of terrorist attacks. The latest wave of displacement in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado province is the largest since February, further deepening an already dire humanitarian crisis.

Cabo Delgado, once known for its natural gas reserves and ruby mines, has become the epicenter of a brutal insurgency. Since 2017, Islamist extremists linked to the Islamic State have waged attacks across the region. Ongoing violence has forced the reduction of medical services and restricted the movement of health workers and affected communities.
