Over 730,000 people in the northern Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado have fled terrorist attacks and the WFP\u2019s executive director, David Beasley, lamented that \u201cthe conflict has destroyed people\u2019s jobs, lives and hopes for the future. Insurgents have ripped families apart, burning their homes, traumatising children, and killing people\u2019.<\/p>\n

Beasley, who recently visited the province, added that \u201cthese innocent communities are now completely reliant on WFP and our partners to provide them with life-saving food and help them get back on their feet. We must not fail them\u201d.<\/p>\n

Food security is a growing problem in the province. In March, around 228,000 people were highly food insecure, but this number is projected to grow to 363,000 during the lean season beginning in October. The worst affected are children, with recent data showing that 75,000 children under the age of five are suffering from acute malnutrition.<\/p>\n

The WFP points out that the influx of internally displaced people into neighbouring districts has caused problems for local communities. It warns that \u201cthe added pressure on already scarce resources is impacting host communities struggling with rising food prices and loss of income due to Covid-19\u201d.<\/p>\n

WFP is urgently appealing for 121 million US dollars to support 750,000 people until the end of the year. It warns of \u201cthe risk of having to reduce rations or even halt its food assistance to displaced people next month if no additional funds are received\u201d.<\/p>\n

Insurgents have ripped families apart, burning their homes, traumatizing children and killing people. It is a terrible situation in Cabo Delgado, #Mozambique where 700K+ people have been forced to flee.<\/p>\n

Funds urgently required to continue delivering @WFP assistance.<\/p>\n

\u2014 David Beasley (@WFPChief) July 7, 2021<\/p>\n

In a report published earlier this month, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) pointed out that 254 million dollars are needed to respond to the effects of the violent conflict, warning that \u201cwhile further funding is under discussion, more is needed immediately to ensure that humanitarian organisations can save lives and alleviate suffering. Without additional funding, humanitarian partners will be forced to stop essential programmes, and hundreds of thousands of people will not receive the assistance they need to survive\u201d.<\/p>\n

Parts of Cabo Delgado have been under attack from islamist terrorists since October 2017, forcing people from their homes and destroying livelihoods. It is estimated that 350,000 children have been displaced, leaving them hungry and without education.<\/p>\n

Shout-out to our partners and donors who are helping us to save and change lives in #Mozambique, especially in Cabo Delgado. Because of you, these women & children are able to have food and hope to get though these tough times. Thank you for all you do and everything you will do! pic.twitter.com\/p27xT9oPWo<\/p>\n
