MAPUTO, Mozambique –
Sinhara Omar, a widow and mother of three children, relies on wild tubers and fruits to feed her family in the refugee camp where she lives in Mozambique’s gas-rich and conflict-torn Cabo Delgado province.
No one comes anymore with food, clothing and blankets to the camp in the city of Pemba, where she has lived since she fled a rebel attack on the northern town of Macomia five years ago.
“For a long time, they used to support us, but now they’ve left us. Everyone manages in their own way. We don’t get food or clothes, no one even supports the children anymore,” she said.
