Situation overview
Cabo Delgado faces a worsening crisis due to escalating Non-State Armed Group (NSAG) violence and the impact of Cyclone Chido in December 2024. Conflict-driven displacement continues, with 23,308 people displaced between October 23 and November 26, 2024, across Chiúre, Ancuabe, Muidumbe, Mueda, Mocimboa da Praia, Meluco and Nangade districts (DTM Movement Alert 117; DTM Movement Alert 120). Increasing NSAG attacks, the use of IEDs, and security threats have restricted humanitarian access, forcing the relocation of aid workers from Ibo and Macomia districts. The situation deteriorated further with the landfall of Cyclone Chido on December 15, 2024, affecting 453,971 people). This climateinduced disaster further exacerbated pre-existing vulnerabilities, particularly among internally displaced persons (IDPs), host communities, and conflict-affected populations, heightening protection risks. In this adverse context, Protection actors (including CP, GBV and HLP AoRs) have reached around 494, 008 beneficiaries in this period, and more than 50,000 persons with disability and 41,000 elderly. The majority of those assisted in Cabo Delgado were IDPs (262,000), while 167,000 returnees and 65,000 members of the host community were also assisted, which reinforces the holistic support to affected populations based on vulnerabilities. The core of the protection activities were focused in the affected districts in the north of the province (Mocimboa da Praia, Nangade, Palma and Mueda).
