CONTEXT & RATIONALE
SINCE 24 SEPTEMBER 2025, new arrivals of internally displaced persons (IDPs) have been reported in Montepuez District, totaling 1513 HH as of 03 October. Mararange hosts 572 HH, Nacuca 238 HH, Ntele 16 HH, Massase 3 HH, Napai 5 HH, and Nacaca 679 HH. These movements follow recent security incidents in Meluco district, including abductions and killings by NSAG in Ravia, sightings near Namoro, and an ambush on an FADM patrol in Ntola, which have caused widespread fear among residents. Displaced HH have moved along various routes seeking safety, primarily toward Tivara B, Chipembe, Namitil, and Montepuez town, and are being hosted within local communities. Verification of these figures by the RRM is still pending, and further arrivals are expected in the coming days.¹
This document presents the main findings of the assessment. All findings are indicative of the priority needs of the displaced population. Further details can be found in the Methodology Description and Limitations section at the end of the document.
