Japan announced on Thursday an emergency donation of 3.7 million dollars (three million euros) to United Nations agencies in response to the humanitarian crisis in Cabo Delgado, northern Mozambique.
“The donation aims to provide food assistance, livelihoods” and several services: sexual and reproductive health, response to gender-based violence and child protection, detailed the Japanese embassy in Maputo in a statement.
The support will be implemented through the World Food Programme (WFP), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef).
Armed violence in Mozambique’s northern province, home to Africa’s largest private multinational investment, for natural gas exploration, is causing a humanitarian crisis with over 2,000 deaths and 560,000 people displaced, without housing or food, concentrated mainly in the provincial capital, Pemba.
Some of the incursions have been claimed by the ‘jihadist’ group Islamic State since 2019.
