The largest refugee camp in the Cabo Delgado region is located near Montepuez, Mozambique. As of April 12, 2021, the camp housed a significant number of internally displaced persons fleeing conflict in the area. The average age of the camp population is very low, with children being the most affected by the crisis. Many of the displaced individuals are ill, yet the camp's infrastructure is severely lacking. The situation highlights the humanitarian challenges faced in Cabo Delgado, with limited resources to address the health and welfare needs of the displaced population, particularly children.
