Crisis in Mozambique: Over 70 Children Missing Amid Escalating Violence

In Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, authorities are grappling with a dire situation as over 70 children are reported missing in the aftermath of recent terrorist attacks. Many families have been separated during large migrations to neighbouring regions, with allegations that some have been kidnapped by Islamic State militants. The violence has escalated dramatically, leading to the displacement of 80,000 people since January, according to Médecins Sans Frontières. The children were among the thousands fleeing the Chiùre district to Nampula province in recent weeks. Stay informed as we closely follow this unfolding humanitarian crisis.
