Approximately 10,926 people were displaced, all of whom left in a hurry without the ability to carry household items. IDP are currently living under very deplorable conditions. some only manage to pin-up mosquito net that serve as their shelter, some sleep-in abandoned buildings while others are jampacked in host families with barely a limited area to lay on. Since they could not farm in their villages of origin and are many in host communities, they have very limited access to food. in term of prioritization, their pressing are foods, non-foods items, shelter, wash and health care assistance. Humanitarian needs continue to increase in North-West and South-West (NWSW) regions, requiring a coordinated and scaled up humanitarian assistance.

Gaps / challenges

Distribution of some metallic-based items within the shelter kits in North West has been banned by local authorities until further notice. Funding to respond to shelter/NFI needs in NWSW Threats from NSAGs is still a significant deterrent in the delivery of humanitarian aid in both the NW/SW regions – Illegal checkpoints and demand for money from NSAGs is recurrent especially along areas with limited state security presence.
