Lusa - Business News - Mozambique: Food aid to reach more than half a million - UN

Maputo, March 3,2021(Lusa)- The World Food Programme (WFP) plans to expand aid to over 500,000 people in the humanitarian crisis in Cabo Delgado, a region in northern Mozambique that has been under attack by rebels for the past three years.

"Aid has reached more than 400,000 people", and the plan after February "is to reach 500,000", Antonella D'Aprile, WFP's representative in Mozambique, said on Wednesday.

"We know it is not enough: more people are fleeing to reach safe areas because of the conflict," she added at the ceremony to hand over a donation of $3.6 million (€2.9 million) from Japan to United Nations agencies.

The Mozambican authorities and humanitarian agencies estimate that 670,000 people have been forced to flee their lands to other communities in the provinces of Cabo Delgado, Niassa and Nampula.

Overall, and in a context aggravated by cyclones and Covid-19, it is estimated that 1.3 million people in need of aid.

In addition to WFP, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) also benefit from Japan's donation today.

About half of the displaced are children and young people, many of whom "have lost their parents or are separated from them", said Maria-Luisa Fornara, representative of UNICEF, which received $686,000 (€568,000) from the Japanese donation.

UNFPA will use §1 million (€830,000) to keep up services that guarantee sexual and reproductive health care and combat gender violence: "The humanitarian crisis aggravated by the impact of Covid-19 has had an extremely negative impact on women's health and financial situation", said Andrea Wojnar, representative of this UN agency.

The WFP will receive $2 million (€1.6 million) when it has strengthened its logistics operation by using an aircraft to reach more remote areas.

Japan "will always" stand by Mozambique, said ambassador Hajime Kimura, who described the donation to UN agencies as a way of "relieving" the country as it faced "serious challenges, such as the deterioration of the security situation in Cabo Delgado," as well as the impact of Covid-19, he said.

The donation is seen as "an example" by Myrta Kaulard, United Nations resident coordinator in Mozambique, which she hopes will be followed, given the appeal launched in December to raise US$254 million (€210 million) for humanitarian support to Cabo Delgado.

Attacks by armed groups began in 2017. The conflict with Mozambican forces continues, with the origin and motivations of the attackers remaining unclear - some attacks have been claimed by the 'jihadist' group Islamic State between June 2019 and November 2020.

The resulting humanitarian crisis includes more than 2,000 dead in a region identified for years as part of international trafficking routes for drugs, precious stones, timber and other resources.

Cabo Delgado is also home to Africa's largest private investment for natural gas extraction.
