Climate change and political instability have dealt a severe blow to Mozambique's fishing industry, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis. In the northern province of Cabo Delgado, cyclones of increasing intensity have devastated coastal communities, whilst an ongoing conflict has displaced hundreds of thousands. The situation is further compounded by a political crisis that has paralysed government services and a sharp decline in international aid. Local fishermen struggle to make ends meet, with their catches drastically reduced, whilst internally displaced persons face hunger and uncertainty. The Norwegian Refugee Council has classified Mozambique's crisis as one of the world's most neglected, citing inadequate funding, limited media coverage, and a lack of political will to resolve the situation.
