Geneva/ Maputo, 8 March2024 (IOM)* -–More than 110,000 people have been displaced since end of last year (December 22) by the resurgence of attacks by non-state armed groups in a distressing escalation of violence in Cabo Delgado Province.
This alarming figure represents the second-largest wave of displacement in Cabo Delgado since the onset of the conflict in 2017, underscoring the deepening humanitarian crisis in the area. The violence has seen a horrifying increase, with affected communities bearing the brunt of these relentless attacks.
(UN News)* —Days from the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan and with no ceasefire agreement in sight for Gaza, UN humanitarians reiterated deep concerns on Thursday [] that a growing number of children are dying of starvation.
“The situation is appalling. Every minute, every hour, it is getting worse,” the UN agency for Palestinians, UNWRA, said in a tweet on X, formerly Twitter.
