In 2022, over 1.5 million people (half of them children) needed assistance to stay alive in northern Mozambique, an emergency linked to the violent altercations in the northern province of Cabo Delgado.
Throughout the country, approximately 1.1 million people are acutely food insecure and the number of internally displaced persons increased from 750,000 in 2021 to 1 million in 2022. Mozambique is one of the four African countries most exposed to extreme climate shocks: Cyclones, tropical storms and floods.
