| | In northern Mozambique, escalating conflict is forcing thousands of families to flee in search of safety. From April 17 to May 5 alone, over 103,000 people have been displaced by attacks and the threat of further violence in the districts of Ancuabe, Chiure, and Erati.
Meet Yahuvale, a resilient 75-year-old woman, who recently arrived at the Nicavaco displacement site after a distressing three-day journey through the forest, alongside her 10 children and 3 baby grandchildren. Fleeing armed conflict, she recounts, "I saw fire in neighboring houses... we didn't know where we were going, but we walked for three days." Despite the fear, the support of a cane and her family kept her going.
Now, she shelters under a cashew tree, finding solace in newfound friendships and shared meals. "I don't want to think about going back... here I can sleep peacefully."
The needs of displaced people in Mozambique continue to grow, and support is more important than ever.
