A technical analysis conducted by Mozambican and international organizations revealed that food insecurity in Mozambique increased 55% by March, affecting approximately 1.84 million people. The El Niño climate phenomenon was identified as one of the main factors contributing to this situation.
In addition to El Niño, the armed conflict in the north of the country and the depletion of food reserves are also cited as causes of this humanitarian crisis. The combination of these factors created particularly difficult conditions for the Mozambican population, increasing the vulnerability of millions of people.
This significant increase in food insecurity represents a serious challenge for Mozambique, which is simultaneously facing multiple crises that undermine the country's response capacity and the population's access to basic food.
