A humanitarian response plan is in place for 2026, which includes a protection strategy. This strategy aims to address critical protection needs of affected populations. It takes into account the evolving security, humanitarian, and operational context, as well as the search for sustainable solutions.

The protection strategy builds on previous gains and strengthens approaches to current and emerging challenges. The operational context is complex, with factors such as insecurity and limited humanitarian access. Further details on the strategy and its implementation are available from the source publication, ReliefWeb.
