Humanitarian in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique 🌍 🇲🇿

[UNHCR Mozambique and Angola @UNHCRMozambique]

Preparedness is part of protection.

With support from the Mozambique Humanitarian Fund (MHF), UNHCR and AVSI are pre-positioning protection kits in northern Mozambique, ready to support those most at risk when displacement occurs.

On Mozambican Women’s Day, we recognize the strength and resilience of women across the country.

Many of the people UNHCR serves— and many of those delivering support—are women, working every day to support and protect others.

[UNHCR Mozambique and Angola @UNHCRMozambique]

Displacement can deepen the barriers faced by persons with disabilities.

In Cabo Delgado, UNHCR supported the provision of assistive devices during the visit of First Lady Gueta Chapo, helping restore mobility, independence and dignity.

[UNHCR Mozambique and Angola @UNHCRMozambique]

UNHCR and 🇯🇵 Japan sign a USD 6.9 million partnership to restore access to civil documentation and legal services for displaced families in Cabo Delgado.

The initiative strengthens national systems and brings essential services closer to communities.

First impressions are in: visitors are connecting deeply with "Refúgio: Caminhos Cruzados" at the CFM Station in Maputo. An exhibition about solidarity, displacement and shared histories.

If you're around Maputo, come visit!

[UNHCR Mozambique and Angola @UNHCRMozambique]

When women unite, violence falls. When men unite, violence falls. When communities unite, change begins.

Across Cabo Delgado and Nampula, displaced women and men are raising their voices against violence—and UNHCR stands with them.

This week in Mozambique, I saw the scale of overlapping crises: 1.3M displaced by conflict & extreme weather, with >2 security incidents daily in Cabo Delgado. Aid must go hand in hand with long-term resilience.

[UNHCR Mozambique and Angola @UNHCRMozambique]

In Cabo Delgado, conflict has intensified again.

⚠️ 56,215 people displaced since late July, many in urgent need.

UNHCR leads the protection response: GBV prevention, support for people with disabilities, MHPSS & protection desks—support that helps families start to rebuild.

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

Recent attacks by armed groups in northern #Mozambique displaced over 46,000 people in July alone, worsening the humanitarian crisis in Cabo Delgado and stretching limited aid resources, @UNOCHA reports.

A day in the life of a humanitarian in Mozambique.

A little peek into some of the work that goes into the #UNHCR response to new displacement in Cabo Delgado.

[UNHCR Mozambique and Angola @UNHCRMozambique]

In April, 14,929 people were displaced in Ancuabe.

Some returned, while others are rebuilding in host areas - like Fatima, who sells tomatoes in Marrokane to support her family of 5.

Today, UNHCR's Representative met families like hers navigating resilience and hope.

[UNHCR Mozambique and Angola @UNHCRMozambique]

In Palma, survivors of GBV are rebuilding their lives through a cooperative selling crafts.

@ONUMocambique's Resident Coordinator, Dr. Catherine Sozi, visited UNHCR's activities supporting women and girls—where they receive support and healing.

Empowerment leads to solutions💪

[UNHCR Mozambique and Angola @UNHCRMozambique]

96% of newly displaced families in Mozambique say they need help with documentation.

Without it, they can’t access basic services. It’s more than paperwork—it’s a lifeline.

Thanks to flexible support from 🇩🇪 @AA_stabilisiert @GermanyInAfrica, UNHCR is responding.

Moçambique celebra 50 anos de independência — e continua a acolher com dignidade quem foi forçado a fugir.

Neste marco histórico, o ACNUR reafirma seu compromisso com soluções duradouras, inclusão e apoio às comunidades que acolhem.

#Moçambique50Anos #ComOsRefugiados

[UNHCR Mozambique and Angola @UNHCRMozambique]

Mozambique hosts nearly 25,000 refugees and asylum seekers.

Many have lived in the country for over 10 years—but without documentation, they remain in legal limbo.

Solidarity with refugees means continuing to advocate for their rights and inclusion.

#WRD2025 #WithRefugees

[Isadora Zoni @IsadoraZoni]

Are we really celebrating #WorldRefugeeDay if refugees aren't at the center?

This year in Mozambique, we co-led a market where refugee entrepreneurs owned the space — showcasing skills, growing businesses, building networks.

Solidarity isn’t a slogan. It’s action.
#WithRefugees

[Isadora Zoni @IsadoraZoni]

It's a good day when our capacity-building materializes, enabling our partners to best support the people forced to flee in Cabo Delgado. We successfully handed over cars to partners today!

[UNHCR Mozambique and Angola @UNHCRMozambique]

To celebrate Children’s Day, UNHCR joined families in Mecufi—one of the areas heavily affected by Cyclone Chido—for a joyful day of plays, traditional dance and laughter.

Even in crisis, every child deserves to grow up safe, included and free to play.
