This camp is managed by both the state and humanitarian organizations, and the displaced people have found a more normal life here than elsewhere / The UNHCR official makes the children repeat certain phrases.The region of Cabo Delgado, in the northeast of Mozambique, has been experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian drama for the past 4 years. Al-Shabab jihadists affiliated with the Islamic State since 2019 are wreaking havoc there. This armed group terrorizes the different ethnic groups while carrying out coordinated and simultaneous attacks against public institutions. To date, more than 2,800 people have been killed.In Pemba, the capital of the region and a former tourist town, the humanitarian situation has continued to deteriorate. The town's population has doubled. The displaced are piling up on the beaches or waiting in buildings requisitioned by the state before being rehoused.Camps are multiplying throughout the region. The inhabitants are totally dependent on humanitarian aid. The conditions are precarious, between insecurity, extreme poverty and the beginning of famine.Where: Montepuez, Cabo Delgado, MozambiqueWhen: 28 Apr 2021Credit: Chris Huby/Le Pictorium/Cover Images
