Key takeaway Vulnerable individuals, including pregnant women and people with disabilities, were often unable to reach higher ground and were swept away.
A recent disaster has left many in need of immediate humanitarian assistance, with 43,000 women and girls affected. Vulnerable individuals, including pregnant women and people with disabilities, were often unable to reach higher ground and were swept away. Women survivors are now facing significant challenges, including a lack of food and inaccessible safe water.
Protection risks are also growing, and women are at risk of being excluded from decision-making processes. Prior to the disaster, women in certain areas already spent hours each day collecting water for their families. Further details on the situation and the response efforts are available from relief organizations.
