Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>More than 110,000 people have been displaced since end of last year (December 22) by the resurgence of attacks by Non-State Armed Groups in a distressing escalation of violence in Cabo Delgado Province, in northern Mozambique. This alarming figure represents the second-largest wave of displacement in Cabo Delgado province since the onset of the conflict in 2017, underscoring the deepening humanitarian crisis in the area.<\/p>\n

The violence in Cabo Delgado has seen a horrifying increase, with affected communities bearing the brunt of these relentless attacks. \u201cWe left our village in Ocua, Chiure, in the dead of night, scared because of those attacks happening nearby. We didn\u2019t bring anything with us, just the clothes on our backs. It\u2019s not just me, there\u2019s nine of us from my family, including the little ones. We\u2019re all in this together, trying to stay safe and keep each other going,\u201d shares Carlota, a displaced woman.<\/p>\n

Responding to this humanitarian emergency, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been at the forefront, providing essential aid to over 22,000 recently displaced individuals. The organization\u2019s multifaceted approach includes managing displacement sites, delivering shelter, healthcare, mental health support, and coordinating a multifaceted response to meet the escalating needs. Despite these efforts, the magnitude of the crisis continues to outstrip available resources, highlighting a gap that urgently needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the face of this harrowing crisis, the International Organization for Migration stands resolute in our commitment to providing support to those affected.\u201d explains Dr. Laura Tomm-Bonde, IOM Mozambique Chief of Mission. \u201cThe challenges we face in meeting the needs of the displaced are significant. Our resources, including essential items, are dwindling rapidly, threatening to leave thousands already in vulnerable at risk, including women, children, and the elderly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The escalating crisis has placed a considerable strain on IOM\u2019s Mobile Teams and Clinics, which are instrumental in providing health, nutrition, and psychosocial support across affected districts. The rising demand for mental health services and increased protection efforts against Gender-Based Violence and Sexual Exploitation and Abuse further compounds the urgency for enhanced support capabilities.<\/p>\n

Despite substantial on-the-ground efforts to accommodate new arrivals and ensure coordinated response efforts, a significant funding shortfall jeopardizes the continuation of essential services. With only 15% of the required $43 million under the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2024 secured, the looming risk of unmet needs could exacerbate an already critical situation.<\/p>\n

As part of the Joint Response Programme (JRP) in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP) and the United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF), Emergency Household Item comprising of shelter tarps, blankets, mosquito nets, kitchen sets, and sleeping mats have been distributed to 1,255 households. Additionally, food and hygiene kits have been provided, though the demand far exceeds the available resources, highlighting the escalating needs amid this crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe immediate and future needs of the displaced populations in Mozambique demand our collective attention and action,\u201d Dr. Tomm-Bonde reflects. \u201cBeyond immediate relief, we are committed to addressing the root causes of the crisis and promote sustainable peace and development by combining humanitarian aid interventions with development, and peacebuilding initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Mozambique continues to face this daunting humanitarian emergency, IOM calls for swift and comprehensive action from the international community to alleviate the suffering of the displaced and to work towards sustainable solutions to the violence that has plagued the region since 2017.<\/p>\n
