Mozambique Northern Region Conflict
2022-06 Factsheet - Mozambique Northern Region Conflict
Highlights
- In June 83,983 people were further displaced by a new wave of attacks in Ancuabe and Chiure districts. Majority of the displaced, approximately 67,524 people, were reported as women and children
- Violence had a spill-over effect in Nampula province where 23,000 displaced people arrived. However, the vast majority already returned to Cabo Delgado.
- In response to these attacks, Emergency Shelter and NFI assistance has been provided to approx. 18,000 people in southern Cabo Delgado.
- Even though the cluster has mapped the capacity to respond to an additional 8,800 families with available stock through the cluster pipeline and other partners; procurement of additional quantities of mosquito nets and sleeping mats is in progress to complete these kits. This also means the currently available stock is being prioritized to meet the newly arising needs due to the recent attacks.
- Currently, the shelter sector is only 17 percent funded, with having received only US$ 7.29 million of the US$ 42.4 million requested. Thus far, cluster partners were only able to reach 25% of the initial HRP target while responding to needs of new displacements as well as diverting Emergency Shelter and NFI stock for cyclone Gombe affected districts.

Gaps / challenges
FUNDING: Shelter cluster remains severely under- funded viz-a-viz HRP 2022 funding requirements.
SECURITY: Complex operational context – previously accessible areas becoming in accessible.
BENEFICIARY LISTS: Delays in getting government lists prior to verifications and distributions.
ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT and adjustment of RRM and JRP for operations in hard-to-reach areas requiring more survival kits, access and logistically these are considerably more expensive interventions.
