# Mozambique: Nearly One Million Face Severe Food Insecurity in Cabo Delgado

Over 900,000 people in Cabo Delgado province in northern Mozambique are facing severe food insecurity and acute malnutrition, according to an announcement by Johanniter International Assistance, a German humanitarian organization. The crisis has been driven by ongoing islamist militant activity in the region, which has also triggered massive displacement of the population.

The scale of the humanitarian emergency underscores the severe impact of the armed conflict on civilian populations in the province. The combination of food insecurity, malnutrition, and displacement indicates a multi-faceted crisis affecting vulnerable communities across the region. Johanniter International Assistance, through its public statement, has brought attention to the urgent humanitarian needs requiring response and support.
