Post-election unrest in Mozambique has forced thousands of people to flee their homes. In Malawi, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and the government have identified around 2,000 who crossed into the country in the past week. In neighbouring Eswatini, another 1,000 people have arrived. Amongst the new arrivals are refugees and asylum seekers of various nationalities who have been living in Mozambique. UNHCR is raising concerns over the escalating displacement and its impact on the affected populations.
