Mozambique assists returnee families in Mocimboa da Praia and opens an office in Mueda to increase operations in northern Mozambique

This assistance, delivered to six neighbourhoods, is intended to improve in the short-term, the living conditions of returnees and to provide the basic necessary hygiene and dignity conditions, and also improve shelter conditions.

“The distribution of essential household items for families that returned to Mocímboa da Praia is part of the ICRC’s continued efforts to assist communities affected by the armed conflict”, said the Head of the Pemba Sub-Delegation, Valentina Torricelli.

The kits are an immediate support for people returning to their districts of origin to rebuild their lives, guaranteeing that they, and in particular the most vulnerable, have access to essential items for survival and basic well-being
