Some 5,300 displaced people registered in different districts of troubled Cabo Delgado province after fleeing assault.
More than 5,000 people fleeing an attack by a group linked to ISIL (ISIS) have made their way to safety elsewhere in northern Mozambique, while a small group of victims arrived by boat in neighbouring Tanzania. Armed fighters raided the coastal northern Mozambican town of Palma on March 24, ransacking buildings and beheading residents as thousands fled into the surrounding forest. A United Nations spokesman said so far 5,300 displaced people had been registered in different districts of Cabo Delgado province, home since 2017 to a simmering insurrection.More Related News
