Families are fleeing again—some for the second or third time.
Children are arriving malnourished, barefoot, and alone. Women face violence. Elderly are left behind.
In northern Mozambique, displacement is not new—but it is getting worse.

Deadly attacks in Western Ukraine are a stark reminder that no part of the country is safe.
States should not refuse protection or assistance to Ukrainians on the basis that some parts of Ukraine are safe.
Inside Ukraine, UNHCR remains on the ground, helping the most affected.
