Mozambique continues to face recurrent public health and humanitarian challenges, driven by overlapping crises. The country is regularly affected by epidemics and extreme weather events and is currently experiencing widespread flooding and a cholera outbreak.
Nearly nine years after armed conflicts erupted in Cabo Delgado, humanitarian needs remain severe. Around 1.1 million people across northern Mozambique require humanitarian assistance, including 919 000 people in the districts most affected by the conflict in Cabo Delgado. Despite ongoing relief efforts, less than half of those in need have been reached, while humanitarian funding remains critically insufficient. As a result, many vulnerable families continue to face limited access to health care, food, education and protection services.
In 2026, humanitarian access in northern Mozambique remained highly constrained, primarily due to localized attacks, armed clashes and interference along key routes, compounded by damaged infrastructure and the impact of the rainy season, which continued to disrupt and complicate operations.
More broadly, Mozambique is facing its most severe cholera outbreak in 25 years and is grappling with ongoing internal conflict that has resulted in a complex and multifaceted crisis with significant humanitarian implications, including high levels of internal displacement. Mozambique is classified as one of the countries in the world most affected by extreme weather events. In 2025, more than 724 000 people were affected by floods. At the peak of the emergency, over 100 000 people were hosted in approximately 100 accommodation centres.
