Overview
- OCHA reports more than 107,000 people displaced in the past fortnight, with roughly 330,000 uprooted over the last four months.
- Attacks have expanded beyond Cabo Delgado into Nampula and Niassa, with renewed violence in Palma for the first time since 2021 and reports of civilian killings.
- UNICEF says grave violations against children, including abductions and recruitment, are widespread and estimates about two-thirds of the newly displaced are children.
- Food stocks and health kits are running out, only about 40% of displaced people have received two weeks of food, and aid gaps are prompting some returns to unsafe areas.
- OCHA notes a shift from short raids to weeks-long assaults, compounding needs in communities already battered by 2025 cyclones, with total displacement since 2017 topping 1.3 million.
