Mozambique

In Cabo Delgado province, where about 580,000 people remained displaced due to ongoing conflict and unrest, our teams continued to provide health care through community-based activities and support to health facilities in the districts of Palma, Mocímboa da Praia, Macomia, Mueda, Muidumbe, and Nangade.

In May 2024, Macomia was attacked by an armed group; MSF’s warehouse was looted and our cars stolen. This attack and the increased insecurity forced us to suspend our work in Macomia town, temporarily cease running our mobile clinics and outreach activities in the district, and reduce some services in other areas of Cabo Delgado.

In December, following the devastation caused by Cyclone Chido that affected over 680,000 people, we launched an emergency response in the Mecufi and Nanlia districts of northern Mozambique. Our response focused on providing lifesaving emergency health care, mental health support, rehabilitating damaged health facilities, and restoring essential water, sanitation, and hygiene services.
