Brief narrative

More than 732,000 people were internally displaced in northern Mozambique as of April 2021 due to violence that erupted in 2017. Attacks in Palma in March 2021 also triggered the flight of some 100,000 IDPs. UNHCR, “Mozambique Fact Sheet, September 2021,” 29 September 2021, https://data2.unhcr.org/en/documents/details/88926.
