"Following the recent attacks in Palma Sede, ... teams in Nanagde, Mueda, Montpeuz and Pemba districts have registered a significant rise in IDP arrivals. As of March 31, 2021, ... an estimated number of 8,166 IDPs had been registered arriving by foot, bus, boat and air from Palma to the four districts.

According to the activist, "two boats carrying an estimated number of 1,112 IDPs" are yet to disembark at the Pemba port "due to the authorities' screening procedure."
