Highlights:
Since January 2015, three waves of displacement have taken place in Lac region. The first was in January, followed by another in April, and the latest at the end of July.
Some 77,000 people have been displaced as a result of the Nigerian crisis either internally or across international borders. This number includes over 14,000 refugees (of whom 7,134 currently live in Dar al Salam refugee camp), 11,000 returnees, and 52,000 internally displaced persons living either in spontaneous sites or in host communities. All are in need of humanitarian assistance.
The most immediate needs are in shelter and non-food items, food security, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), and health.
Since early August, 39 women and children were released by the Chadian armed forces from an armed group in the Lake region.
