Key takeaway 9 million people facing acute food insecurity.
9 million people facing acute food insecurity. Humanitarian response in affected areas is critically low, with many districts receiving minimal assistance. An analysis found that only a few districts achieved moderate reach, while others had little to no response.
Displacement has also been a concern, with over 216,900 people displaced across the country between April and June. This represents a significant increase from the same period last year. Further details on the humanitarian situation and response efforts are available from the source, including information on flood preparedness measures and contingency planning.
