Concluding a joint visit to Mozambique, senior United Nations humanitarian officials are appealing for urgent global action to address the country’s trio of crises: conflict, climate shocks, and a deteriorating socio-economic situation. Escalating violence in northern Mozambique has displaced 715,000 people, while Cyclones Chido and Dikeledi have impacted 680,000 people.
During their visit, Joyce Msuya, Assistant-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, and Carl Skau, Deputy Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP), held talks with national and local Mozambican authorities, as well as with humanitarian partners, UN staff, donors and international financial institutions, to discuss the country’s urgent needs. “Global humanitarian funding is under immense strain,” Ms. Msuya noted. “We cannot abandon Mozambicans at this critical juncture.”
