More than 107,000 people have been displaced in Mozambique in the past fortnight by rising violence in the north of the country and some aid supplies are running out, the United Nations humanitarian agency said on Friday. Attacks by insurgents in northern Mozambique have increased this year, spreading into previously safe areas and beyond the gas-rich Cabo Delgado to the provinces of Nampula and Niassa. The violence has displaced more than 1.3 million people since 2017, according to the U.N. “People flee because their villages are attacked and burned and destroyed, and others flee in surrounding villages for fear of attacks,” Paola Emerson, Head of Office at the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Mozambique, told reporters in Geneva via video link from Maputo. The U.N. says some 107,000 people have left their homes in Nampula city due to spreading violence. Over the last four months a total of 330,000 people have been displaced.
