A recent military escalation has led to a surge in displacement, exacerbating an existing humanitarian crisis. Growing numbers of people are being uprooted from their homes, fleeing with limited belongings and facing numerous challenges. These challenges include insecurity, high transportation costs, and shortages of essential items like food, water, and medicines.

Families displaced from various areas are seeking refuge, putting pressure on host communities. Despite the support provided by these communities, reduced assistance and competition for limited resources are straining social cohesion. Many of the displaced families have experienced multiple displacements, further compounding their vulnerability.
