The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), says over 3-million Mozambican children are in serious need of  humanitarian assistance. The country has recently been hit by deadly post-election protests, with demonstrators denouncing a recent election victory by the country's ruling FRELIMO party. The recent political climate has exacerbated the already severe displacement of  hundreds of thousands of the country's children. Apart from conflict, Mozambique is also among the countries most adversely affected by climate-related risks, with UNICEF warning that the impact of these could include disease and malnutrition. For more on this, Peter Ndoro spoke to  UNICEF Chief of Emergencies and Field Operations, Jane Strachan joining in from Cabo Delgado, in Mozambique.
