Between 22 December to 12 February, a series of sporadic attacks and fear of attacks by Non-state Armed Groups in Macomia, Chiure, Mecufi, Mocimboa da Praia, and Muidumbe triggered the cumulative displacement 12,963 individuals/2,047 families.
Although included within this cumulative displacement estimate- the current Movement Alert #97 reports on recent attacks recorded in Macomia, Chiure and Mecufi between 8 to 14 February that displaced 2,114 individuals. Within this reporting period, arrivals of displaced families have been mapped across villages of Ancuabe, Macomia, Chiure, Muidumbe, Quissanga, Metuge, Montepuez, Mecufi, Erati and Ibo.
Of the total individuals displaced between 8-14 February, 128 families with 348 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centers of Macomia (Nanga A and Nanga B), 190 families with 676 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centers of Chiure (Maningane, Muajaja, and Namisir), 15 families with 64 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centers of Montepuez (Ntele), 17 families with 68 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centers of Metuge (Ngunga), 2 families with 16 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centers of Mueda (Lyanda) and 3 families with 8 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centers of Ancuabe (Cujupane, Nanjua).
Owing to prevailing security concerns in the region reported by displaced families, intentions on duration of their stay in current locations of displacement sites and host communities remains uncertain. Movements in the region continue to be dynamic within the districts. The objective of the Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) – Movement Alert is to collect information on large and sudden population movements, providing humanitarian response partners with data on IDPs to support effective humanitarian response. Information is collected through key informants’ interviews or direct observation. This alert provides basic information on displacements, and additional information can be shared upon request
