Emergency Response
Northern Mozambique displacement crisis
• In July, the first month of the July-August distribution cycle, WFP has reached an estimated 418,630 conflict-affected people with reduced food rations in northern Mozambique. Due to funding shortages and to meet rising needs, WFP has been distributing reduced rations since April 2022, except during the peak of the lean season in December 2022 and January 2023. In February 2023, due to funding shortages, WFP was forced to temporarily halt food assistance.
• In Cabo Delgado, WFP has started rolling out assistance based on Vulnerability-Based Targeting (VBT) in four of the nine districts where the exercise was completed, prioritizing food assistance to the most vulnerable members of IDP and host communities. The roll-out of the VBT will continue to be gradually implemented in the remaining districts, as the process requires thorough engagement with local government representatives and communities.
Tropical Cyclone Freddy response
• WFP finalised the household targeting and registration process for the second phase of the response to support recovery from the impact of the cyclone, in July and plans to begin the first distribution cycle in August. WFP plans to provide three months of food assistance to 190,000 beneficiaries in the most affected districts of Zambezia, Sofala, Tete, Gaza, and Inhambane provinces.
