- The estimated number of IDPs is approximately 53,639 of which 59.5% have already been registered.
- Following the decision to relocate the IDP site of Kousseri and the refugee camp of Dar es Salam, the activities of humanitarian partners have on the whole slowed somewhat.
- New dynamics of population movements were observed after the declaration of the state of emergency. New IDPs are again moving from the islands to the mainland and have not yet been registered. Humanitarian access to vulnerable people is still difficult because of the security conditions, which impedes the definition of needs and the delivery of assistance.

- Despite the ongoing efforts, urgent needs persist in the sectors of shelter, food security, water, hygiene and sanitation, protection and health.
