More Than 7,000 Flee Violence in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado Since Late September, Nearly 80% Women and Children
The International Organization for Migration said on November 13, 2026, that more than 7,000 people have fled violence in Cabo Delgado province in northern Mozambique since late September, and that nearly 80 per cent of them are women and children. Armed violence in Cabo Delgado has continued for years and has repeatedly displaced civilians.
IOM recorded the composition of the newly displaced through its displacement-tracking system. The high share of women and children means the newest arrivals have concentrated needs for shelter, water, food and child protection.
The figures run only to the time of the report. Violence and population movement in Cabo Delgado are still changing, and later totals will follow IOM's next tracking update. (Source: International Organization for Migration)
