Overview of the humanitarian situation
Since the conflict escalated, over 100,000 people have been displaced. The upcoming rainy season is projected to bring heavy flooding in areas already inundated in previous years. In addition, a cholera outbreak continues to spread and food insecurity is worsening during the current lean season. An estimated 388,000 people in the six counties prioritized under this request are affected by the humanitarian crisis and 229,000 face severe food insecurity (IPC4), up from 157,000 in November. Across the country, the number of people living in catastrophic food insecurity (IPC5) has more than doubled, from 31,000 to 63,000.
