00:01They have left everything behind to save their lives.

00:05At least 107,000 people have been displaced in Mozambique in recent weeks.

00:11The reason? Rising insurgent attacks, even in regions that were previously considered as safe.

00:18Two-thirds of the refugees are children, according to UN agency UNICEF.

00:23Attacks by insurgent groups, especially in the north of the country, have increased this year considerably.

00:30Experts note that the violence has reached an unusual level of continuity,

00:34with attacks in some areas lasting for weeks rather than being short-faced.

00:39UNICEF also said that attacks took place in Cabo Delgado's Palma district for the first time in four years.

00:47The internally displaced populations face a critical shortage of humanitarian aid.

00:52Food stocks and health kits are quickly running out,

00:55and assistance programs are unable to cope with the number of refugees.

01:00In Mozambique, more than 1.3 million people in total have been displaced by violence from non-state armed groups since 2017.
