Violence in Northern Mozambique Displaces Tens of Thousands of Children

A sharp rise in attacks by armed groups in northern Mozambique is forcing families to flee, displacing tens of thousands of children. The violence, carried out by non-state actors, has created a severe humanitarian crisis. Many children have witnessed brutal attacks, leaving them traumatized and in urgent need of protection and support. Displaced families often arrive in host communities with nothing. Children face heightened risks of malnutrition, disease, and separation from their caregivers. The ongoing insecurity continues to limit humanitarian access. Aid agencies warn that without increased safety and resources, the physical and mental well-being of an entire generation is at a breaking point.
