Emergency response
Northern Mozambique displacement crisis
• In May, WFP assisted 377,835 beneficiaries including IDPs and returnees, reaching 90% of the plan for the May-June distribution cycle.
• Limited road access to some distribution sites in Quissanga district, as well as prevailing security issues in Macomia district constituted the main constraints.
• Due to limited resources, WFP continues to provide half rations every other month. May marked the start of the May-June cycle, and distributions will be finalized in June to cover the planned target.
El Niño response
• As of May, the response to the El Niño-induced drought reached 179,490 people, 71% of the target. The assistance is planned to be finalized in June, reaching 250,270 individuals.
• An extra distribution cycle has been added to the response to reach 11,000 individuals in the two worst affected districts.
