Highlights
Humanitarian assistance has progressively resumed after a temporary suspension due to attacks which occurred on 10th October in Baga-Sola and Kousseri IDP site (near Baga-Sola).
A large part of Kousseri IDP site is now reportedly all but empty of its population of some 6,500 people. These departures are apparently related to the need to resume agricultural activities or to the fear of further incident following the 10th October attacks.
It is feared that some additional population movements may occur, following the attacks which took place on 1st November in Kaiga and Mboma (just 25 km North of Tchoukoutalia), two localities hosting IDPs.
Updating the Displacement Tracking Matrix remains a priority. As of today, the estimated number of IDPs who arrived since July 21st stands at 52,321, a number which has remained stable since 7 October.
Despite the efforts of the humanitarian community, significant needs remain in all sectors: shelter, food security, water hygiene and sanitation, health, and protection. Gaps are of particular concern in IDPs sites, partly because of a lack of resources as well as the volatility of displacements.
