El Niño droughts have led to failed harvests in Mozambique, putting 1 million more people at crisis levels of food insecurity compared to 2023. Over 144,000 children are set to experience acute malnutrition. And this situation is expected to get worse until next year's harvest.

A major accomplishment, the result of strong leadership, robust partnerships, shared commitment to getting the job done & the relentless efforts of 1000s of vaccinators. A moment to celebrate for children in Mozambique & across the continent. #EndPolio #ForEveryChild @SaudeMisau

Almost 100k people have been displaced in the past month in Northern 🇲🇿, disrupting access to health & nutrition services. UNICEF is supporting integrated mobile brigades in Erati district, ensuring arrivals get access to basic medical services & referrals for specialist care.

80,000+ individuals displaced in northern due to recent Non-State Armed Groups attacks. IOM is on the ground providing vital support with @UNICEF_Moz & @wfp_mozambique through the JRP.

Escalating violence underscores the urgent need for humanitarian aid & #Protection measures.

[Guy Taylor @guy_taylor]

I spoke to @eNCA about the situation of children and families forced to flee in #CaboDelgado. Additional support is urgently needed to meet immediate needs - clean water, food, shelter, protection - while ensuring continuity of critical basic services. https://t.co/VY8co5Ge2e

Wow! Incredible community theatre in Maquival, Zambezia. Hundreds of faces enthralled by the performance, which conveys crucial messages around breastfeeding, the importance of antenatal care and maternal nutrition.

[UNICEF Moçambique @UNICEF_Moz]

#Mozambique is experiencing its largest ever #cholera outbreak, with case numbers growing daily.

Since September 2022, more than 40,000 cases have been recorded. @UNICEF is calling for urgent funding of $10 million for the first 6 months of 2024. (1/2)

Flexible humanitarian funding helps UNICEF provide vital supplies & services at the outset of an emergency in 🇲🇿

We are grateful to @SwedeninMZ, @NorwayInMoz, @IrlEmbMaputo, @CanHCMozambique & @GermanyDiplo for their contributions of flexible humanitarian funding #ForEveryChild.

[Eva Kadilli @EvaUNICEF]

Thanks to partners' support, mobile health brigades, like the one I saw in Mahera, Cabo Delgado, are bringing lifesaving services to communities, preventing malnutrition, ensuring every child benefits from vaccination & providing sexual, reproductive & maternal health care.

[Eva Kadilli @EvaUNICEF]

The Model Family initiative is at the heart of @UNICEF_Moz work to promote positive behaviours : using mosquito nets, registering births and enrolling children in school. With support from partners, the programme is already reaching 50k families, with 20k more set to be enrolled.
