Mozambique has been severely affected by drought, leading to high levels of acute food insecurity. As of September 2025, a significant number of people were experiencing food insecurity, with numbers expected to rise in the following months. The drought has had a particularly severe impact on vulnerable populations, including children and pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Many children are suffering from acute malnutrition, and the number of people in emergency conditions is expected to increase. Further details on the drought's impact and the affected provinces are available from the source, including information on the specific areas most affected, such as Tete, Gaza, Manica, and Inhambane.
