Violence perpetrated by non-state armed groups has plunged northern Mozambique into a humanitarian and protection crisis with 834,304 people living in a situation of protracted displacement. UNHCR reiterates concern over the multiple protection risks and needs that affect displaced and host communities.
To reach greater impact and ensure the protection and solutions response across northern Mozambique is complementary and sustainable, UNHCR provides holistic and multi-sectorial support by working closely with communities, local authorities, and humanitarian and development stakeholders.
Although most displaced people continue to live in sites or host communities, 420,200 people have returned to their area of origin. UNHCR’s protection and solutions response extends to returnees, while stressing the importance that returns should be informed, voluntary and safe.
