Highlights
Since July 21st, the estimated number of internally displaced people (IDPs) stands at more than 40,795 people, a decrease of 15% compared with prior estimates. This difference is due to secondary movements related to humanitarian assistance or to erroneous estimates. These people are located in 17 spontaneous sites, host communities in Bol and along the Meli- Bol axis.
Constant further displacement of IDPs makes it difficult to compile accurate figures. Registration remains a challenge and a priority.
16,169 IDPs have received humanitarian assistance (40%) in the sites of Yakoua,
Kaya, Koudouboul, Kollom, Kafia,
Kousseri, Tagal, Dar al Nahim, Koulkime and Bibi, and in Bol.The most immediate needs are in shelter (20,000 IPDs in 12 sites), food security (30,000 IDPs without any assistance), water, sanitation, and hygiene (90% of IDPs do not have access to latrines and more than 50% of IDPs didn’t benefit from hygiene activities), and health.
