- Over 700,000 people across central and southern Mozambique have been affected by widespread flooding, with approximately half displaced. More than 100,000 people have sought refuge in temporary accommodation centres.
- Food assistance is among the most urgent needs. Flooding has destroyed food stocks and cropland, while markets in many affected areas are either inaccessible or non‑functional. Immediate access to food is critical to prevent a further deterioration in food security.
- The floods have also reversed significant recovery gains made after the El Niño‑induced drought that previously affected the same regions.
- Mozambique cannot respond to a crisis of this scale alone. The 2026 Humanitarian Needs Response Plan (HNRP) Addendum for the flood response seeks to mobilize USD 187 million to deliver urgent, life‑saving assistance to approximately 600,000 people affected by the floods.
