A recent influx of people has put a strain on resources. Water and sanitation systems are weak, and overcrowding is a concern. This has led to a high risk of disease resurgence.

A response is being led by the government, with support from UNICEF. This effort is multisectoral and aims to address the needs of the arriving people. Further details are available from the UNICEF Djibouti Humanitarian Flash Update, which reports on the situation and the response efforts.
