Jihadist insurgents in northern Mozambique have launched new attacks in recent weeks, beheading civilians, burning villages and leaving children orphaned and forced to seek help alone, the United Nations and other humanitarian organizations say.
The spike in violence by Islamic State-linked militants led to more than 100,000 people being displaced in November. Around 70,000 of them were children, according to UNICEF, the United Nations' Children's Fund.
