The Sahel region is grappling with a severe food and nutrition
crisis. The humanitarian
community is scaling up response to this crisis, but significant
funding gaps remain. Urgent
support is needed to ensure that programmes are in place before
the crisis peaks in June.
The crisis is further exacerbated by the consequences of the
conflict that has plagued northern
Mali. Widespread humanitarian needs persist in Mali while
neighboring countries are faced with an
influx of refugees to areas already among the most severely
affected by the food and nutrition crisis.
In addition, a meningitis epidemic continues to affect Chad, the
Gambia, Burkina Faso and Mali. Cholera is also
expected to get worse as the rainy season approaches,
particularly in Cameroon, Chad, Nigeria, Niger and Mali.
The boundaries and names shownand the designations used on
this
map do not imply official endorsementor acceptance by the United
Nations.

IDPs
Refugees
Malian refugees in Burkina Faso, Mauritania,
Niger and Algeria are living in areas already
severely affected by the food and nutrition crisis.
More than half of refugees are children.
Continuing population movements (includinglimited returns)
complicate accurate IDP assess-
ments. Data on refugees also remain incomplete,
particularly for those arriving with livestock or
transferred into camps.
Major humanitarian needs include food,
medecines, WASH, shelter & non-food items,
protection, education and livelihoods support for
IDP and host communities.
