Fresh Violence in Northern Mozambique Displaces Nearly 100,000

A surge of attacks by armed groups in northern Mozambique has displaced nearly 100,000 people in recent weeks. The United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR, reported the sharp rise as violence spreads through the region. Assailants have stormed villages, burning homes and directly attacking civilians. This has forced entire communities to abandon their homes in search of safety. The escalating conflict threatens to deepen a prolonged humanitarian crisis in northern Mozambique. Many displaced families now lack adequate shelter, food, and water. The UNHCR is calling for increased support and safe access for aid organizations. The agency warns that without urgent action, the situation for displaced civilians will worsen rapidly.
