Overview

• Between July 20 and 28, armed attacks across Chiúre, Ancuabe and Muidumbe uprooted 46,667 people, with Chiúre worst hit at over 42,000 displaced—more than half of them children.
• Displaced families in Chiúre are sheltering in overcrowded areas such as Bairro Micone and Bairro Namicir, facing severe shortages of shelter, clean water, food and medical services.
• The International Organization for Migration says displaced households in Ancuabe nearly tripled in one week to 444 families, including over 1,200 children.
• Militant fighters in Muidumbe burned homes in Magaia village and opened fire near Mungue, forcing nearly 500 families into temporary displacement sites with limited humanitarian access.
• Mozambique’s 2025 Humanitarian Response Plan has secured only 19 percent of its $352 million target, prompting aid agencies to reduce their assistance goal from 1.1 million people to 317,000.
