Almost one million people are currently displaced in northern Mozambique following five years of conflict between government forces and non-state armed groups in Cabo Delgado province. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has been present in the region since February 2019, providing medical care and humanitarian aid to many who’ve fled their homes in search of safety.
Some people have been displaced multiple times, forced to abandon their few possessions, means of survival, loved ones, and communities. Living through such a prolonged conflict—with little to no prospect of a stable future—has profound mental health consequences.
