December 2020

The number of people affected by the crisis in the North-West and South-West increased significantly in 2020. This significant increase can be explained by several factors. First, the continued deterioration of the security situation that has led to more displacement and increased needs. While at the end of 2018, 530,000 people were believed to have been displaced as a result of the crisis, needs assessments carried out in 2019 indicate the displacement of more than 780,000 people, a 30% increase.
