The families reassigned to the neighborhoods of Eduardo
Mondlane and Nandimba in the town of Mueda are facing a severe shortage of food
resources and are urgently calling for support to stabilize their lives.
These families, displaced by the terrorist attacks that have plagued the Cabo Delgado province since 2017, are currently sheltered in these resettlement centers and are struggling with a significant lack of food, which has not been supplied for months.
The same centers are also grappling with a lack of clean water
and shelter materials. Many days have passed without assistance from
authorities and humanitarian organizations.
According to one resident, the situation is critical. “We
are in very difficult conditions. We have no water, no sufficient food, and our
shelter tarps are torn,” lamented one of the interviewees.
Since the World Food Program (WFP) stopped providing food
aid, the situation has worsened, with other organizations also halting their
assistance. The lack of support has not yet been officially reported to the
displaced families.
To cope, the displaced families sometimes resort to
alternatives such as tubers, pumpkins, and roasted or boiled maize to survive.
“Since the WFP stopped helping us, we are lacking almost everything,”
one resident stated.
The resettled families are appealing to the intervention of
government authorities and their partners, requesting an urgent allocation of
basic resources to ensure food, hygiene, and shelter for their homes, which are
in precarious conditions. (Mozanorte)
