莫桑比克德尔加杜角省新一轮暴力致逾7000人逃离家园：近八成是妇女与儿童
国际移民组织（IOM）最新数据说，9 月下旬以来，莫桑比克北部德尔加杜角省已有逾 7,000 人逃离家园，躲避新一轮暴力与非国家武装团伙的袭击威胁。联合国新闻 11 月 3 日报道了这一情况。
分阶段看，9 月 21 日至 10 月 13 日有 5,794 人流离失所，10 月 14 日至 27 日又有 1,235 人逃离，其中一些人已经不止一次被迫逃亡。最新抵达者中近八成是妇女与儿童；最近两周的流离失所者中包括 87 名孕妇、58 名长者、18 名残障人士与 4 名无人陪伴或与家人失散的儿童。许多男性尽管危险仍留下来维持生计。
IOM 莫桑比克任务负责人 Dana Graber Ladek 说，接收流离失所者的社区本身已收容了多年冲突造成的逃难者，「这些社区需要食物、住所与医疗方面的帮助；没有及时支持，流离失所家庭与收容他们的居民，生活都会更加艰难」。
德尔加杜角省现有 84 处安置点、收容逾 205,000 名流离失所者，其中过半是儿童。在接受评估的人中，食物是最迫切的需求（88%），其次是住所（71%）与医疗（44%）。IOM 正在提供紧急住所、生活用品、水与卫生、保护及心理社会支持，但警告说，流离失所持续增加而资金下降，正在使应对工作愈发吃紧。

More Than 7,000 Flee Fresh Violence in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado: Nearly 80 Per Cent Are Women and Children
More than 7,000 people have fled their homes in northern Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province since late September, escaping fresh violence and fear of attacks by non-state armed groups, according to new data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), UN News reported on November 3.
Between 21 September and 13 October, 5,794 people were displaced, followed by another 1,235 between 14 and 27 October; some have had to flee more than once. Nearly 80 per cent of the latest arrivals are women and children. Those displaced in the most recent two weeks included 87 pregnant women, 58 older people, 18 people with disabilities and four unaccompanied or separated children. Many men stayed behind to keep earning a living, despite the danger.
“These communities need help with food, shelter and healthcare,” said Dana Graber Ladek, IOM Chief of Mission in Mozambique, noting that many of the displaced are seeking safety in communities that already host people displaced by years of conflict. “Without timely support, life could get much harder for displaced families and the people hosting them.”
Cabo Delgado already hosts more than 205,000 displaced people across 84 sites, and more than half of them are children. Food is the most urgent need, reported by 88 per cent of those assessed, followed by shelter (71 per cent) and healthcare (44 per cent). The UN migration agency is providing emergency shelter, household items, water, sanitation and hygiene, protection and psychosocial support, but warned that continued displacement and falling funding are stretching the response just as needs grow.
