Mozambique is grappling with multiple, overlapping crises ¨C conflict, displacement, drought and recurrent cyclones ¨C that continue to threaten lives and livelihoods. 

A total of 2.7 million people are food insecure and urgently need assistance. Of these, 1.6 million are in the northern provinces of Cabo Delgado, Nampula and Niassa, where communities rely on humanitarian support to survive and recover.

Cyclones and drought left over 4.4 million people across Mozambique struggling to recover during the 2024¨C2025 season.

Heavy rains since mid-December have led to Mozambique¡¯s worst flooding in two decades, affecting over half a million people and destroying homes, livelihoods and critical infrastructure. Â鶹ÊÓƵ is planning food assistance and other support.

In Cabo Delgado, communities caught between conflict and recurring cyclones face alarming levels of malnutrition. More than half of children under 5 are stunted, with their growth and development hindered by long-term malnutrition. 

The past eight years of violence have forced families to flee repeatedly, leaving little time to rebuild their lives. Today, more than 610,000 people remain displaced, while many others continue to move in search of safety and basic necessities.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ reached 1 million people in northern Mozambique with emergency food assistance in 2024. Due to funding shortfalls, we were forced to scale down assistance to 345,000 people in 2025, prioritizing the most vulnerable people and those newly displaced.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ urgently requires US$78.8 million to sustain life-saving operations until April 2026.
