SITUATION OVERVIEW • Cameroon is facing a neglected humanitarian crisis marked by overlapping emergencies: armed clashes between non-state armed groups (NSAGs) and state security forces in the Northwest and the Southwest Regions; NSAG insurgency and climate shocks in the Far North Region; and an influx of Central African Republic refugees in the Adamawa, East and North Regions. These emergencies have resulted in over 2.2 million forcibly displaced people, including 408,620 refugees, one million internally displaced people (IDPs) and 790,850 returnees.

Country: Kenya Source: REACH Initiative Please refer to the attached file. 2. Rationale 2.1 Background The arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) of northern Kenya, particularly the counties of Marsabit, Mandera, Wajir, Turkana, and Garissa, continue to experience multidimensional humanitarian needs driven by the intersection of climatic shocks, chronic vulnerability, and socio-economic marginalization. Over recent years, these counties have experienced climate variabilities that have severely disrupted livelihoods, reduced livestock productivity, damaged infrastructure, displaced households, and weakened already fragile coping capacities.1 While drought conditions have historically shaped humanitarian response planning in the ASAL regions, the increasing overlap between drought recovery periods and recurrent flooding events has created more multidimensional vulnerabilities affecting various populations. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, food insecurity remains a defining feature of vulnerability across ASAL counties. As of 2025, approximately 3.3 million people in Kenya were classified in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis) or worse, with around 400,000 in IPC Phase 4 (Emergency).2 REACH Initiative revealed widespread needs across key sectors, including water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), health, nutrition, shelter, and protection.3 In this context, the humanitarian situation in northern Kenya has become increasingly dynamic due to the overlapping impacts of drought and flooding. While early 2026 was characterized by worsening drought conditions across several ASAL counties, the onset of the March–May 2026 long rains led to flooding that reportedly affected tens of thousands of households, disrupting livelihoods, damaging infrastructure, contaminating water sources, and increasing displacement risks in multiple locations.4 However, rainfall distribution has remained uneven and erratic across the targeted counties. Mandera and Wajir counties continue to experience severe conditions and remain in the alarm phase, while Garissa, Marsabit, and Turkana are classified in the alert phase.5 This variability has created a complex humanitarian environment in which some communities are attempting to recover from prolonged drought while simultaneously facing emerging flood-related impacts. The refugee-hosting areas, such as Dadaab refugee camp in Garissa County, Kakuma refugee camp and Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement in Turkana County, where humanitarian conditions continue to evolve amid funding constraints and policy transitions. Recent reductions in humanitarian assistance, including food ration cuts and differentiated assistance approaches based on household vulnerability status, are likely to have significant implications for food consumption, indebtedness, coping strategies, social cohesion, and overall household well-being. In addition, accountability to affected populations (AAP) and equitable access to humanitarian assistance remain key operational concerns across the target counties.6 During the design phase, REACH consulted with a range of humanitarian and government stakeholders to contextualize the assessment and avoid duplicating existing data collection efforts. This involved discussions through the NGO Refugee Group (NRG), OCHA-led sector coordination meetings, engagements with sector focal points, the NDMA, and relevant county government counterparts. The input gathered through these consultations helped shape indicator selection, geographic prioritization, and alignment with ongoing humanitarian analysis and planning. Against this backdrop, the MSNA seeks to generate comprehensive household-level evidence on the severity, distribution, and drivers of humanitarian needs across food security, nutrition, health, WASH, livelihoods, shelter, education, and protection sectors in Mandera, Wajir, Marsabit, Turkana, and Garissa counties, including refugee camps and settlements. The assessment will support humanitarian actors, county governments, and development partners in identifying sectoral and geographic disparities, understanding differences between refugee and host community populations, and informing evidence-based targeting, resource allocation, and multisectoral response planning within Kenya’s evolving humanitarian landscape.
Country: Syrian Arab Republic Source: United Nations Population Fund Please refer to the attached file. Since early 2026, Syria has been affected by compounding crises, including renewed hostilities in Aleppo and the north-east, severe flooding across five governorates, and the cross-border displacement of 308,441 people, including Lebanese refugees and Syrian returnees. This regional escalation has severely exacerbated sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and protection needs across all affected communities. UNFPA estimates that 1.2 million people require urgent assistance, including over 300,000 women of reproductive age. Access to public services, particularly SRH and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, is severely restricted in several areas, leading to increased GBV risks for displaced families in overcrowded temporary sites with poor privacy and sanitation. In response to the escalating needs, UNFPA has scaled up life-saving SRH and GBV services through both static delivery points and integrated mobile teams. In April, these efforts reached over 33,000 people with SRH services and nearly 37,000 people with GBV services. To address the immediate crises, including the Aleppo and north-east escalation of hostilities and the influx from Lebanon, UNFPA’s six-month response requires US $7.5 million. As of the end of April 2026, 25 per cent of this funding requirement has been secured. However, a critical funding gap of $5.6 million remains, and additional support is urgently required to sustain and scale up the response.
Country: Cameroon Source: Famine Early Warning System Network Please refer to the attached file. Key Messages Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are expected to persist through September across Logone-et-Chari, Mayo-Sava, and Mayo-Tsanaga divisions in the Far North. Ongoing insecurity and recurrent Islamist violence continue to disrupt household participation in main season agricultural land preparation. Income from off-season crop sales and agricultural labor is expected to remain below average and, combined with rising lean season food prices, will further erode household purchasing capacity and limit access to staple foods. The number of households facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes is expected to increase during the June-August lean season, with a small proportion of households, particularly those with severely depleted coping capacity, likely to face Emergency (IPC Phase 4). Seasonal flooding beginning in July will likely exacerbate displacement through at least October, further isolating conflict-affected households from food and income sources. Given below-average harvest prospects, gains from the main season are likely to be limited, preventing meaningful improvements in food security outcomes. In the Northwest and Southwest regions, Crisis (IPC Phase 3) is expected through June, with additional households deteriorating to Emergency (IPC Phase 4), followed by some improvements to Stressed (IPC Phase 2) through September. The June green harvest of maize, beans, potatoes, legumes, and vegetables will provide relief from lean season pressures for cultivating households, but many will remain reliant on market purchases at above-average prices through June. Beginning in July, improved access to own production and crop income is expected to strengthen household food consumption and support a transition to Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes across most areas. Crisis (IPC Phase 3) will likely persist in more insecure and remote divisions — such as Ndian, Lebialem, Menchum, Momo, and Bui — where households will continue reducing essential non-food expenditures and diet quality and quantity due to market and production disruptions. A small proportion of the worst‑affected households — particularly those with little or no harvests and exhausted coping capacity — are expected to remain in Emergency (IPC Phase 4). In Yaoundé and Douala, Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes are expected to persist through September, as above-average food prices continue to erode purchasing power, particularly among poor urban and displaced households with limited or disrupted livelihoods. Food prices are projected to remain significantly above the five-year average in urban markets due to reduced inflows from conflict-affected areas, strong urban demand, and elevated transport costs. Poor urban households are likely to face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) as prices peak during May and June ahead of the harvest. Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes are expected to persist in Mbere (Adamawa), Kadey, and Lom et Djerem divisions (East) through September. The large population of refugees from the Central African Republic continues to place pressure on food prices, employment opportunities, and natural resources, constraining income for both host and refugee households. Many households will struggle to meet essential non-food needs and will likely rely on negative coping strategies, including reducing non-food expenditures and reducing meal frequency and number. While the July-September harvest will improve household food availability and consumption, area-level outcomes are expected to remain Stressed (IPC Phase 2). Poor households — particularly refugees with limited livelihoods and exhausted coping capacities — are likely to remain in Crisis (IPC Phase 3). Countrywide food assistance needs are projected to peak annually in May-June, coinciding with the end of the southern lean season and the onset of the northern lean season. In the south, needs are expected to ease with the July-September main harvest, though they will remain elevated due to the ongoing impacts of conflict. In the north, needs will continue to rise until the September harvest, driven by the combined effects of conflict and flooding on livelihoods. Across the country, however, the delivery of humanitarian food assistance is expected to remain critically constrained by severe funding gaps. In April, WFP warned that severe funding shortfalls could disrupt up to 90 percent of planned deliveries from May onward. Such disruptions will have serious consequences for critical lean-season food assistance for refugees and internally displaced persons in the northern zone. Fuel, fertilizer, and food prices in Cameroon have remained relatively stable despite the Middle East conflict, owing to the country’s limited reliance on Gulf-region imports, substantial fuel subsidies, and the availability of older fertilizer stocks. According to FEWS NET price monitoring, the slight increases in fertilizer costs observed during this period have been driven mainly by rising shipping expenses, speculative trading behavior and seasonally higher demand at the start of the cropping season. Nonetheless, Cameroon remains vulnerable to global spillovers. Elevated international fuel prices, tightening supply conditions, and increasing shipping costs are expected to place upward pressure on import-dependent goods, amplifying inflation risks. In addition, smuggled fuel from Nigeria — used in areas bordering Nigeria, specifically the Far North, Northwest, and Southwest — has risen by 20-25 percent during this period, reflecting increased pump prices in Nigeria.

FAITS SAILLANTS Insécurité à Tissi-Fongoro : impact sur les populations et l’accès humanitaire Plusieurs déplacements préventifs à Irabanda Des rapatriés spontanés enregistrés à Bria dans des conditions difficiles Dépistage nutritionnel à grande échelle dans la Basse‑Kotto et Ouaka CONTEXTE GENERAL Préfecture de la Haute-Kotto – Centre Depuis le 19 mai, les habitants du village d’Irabanda, situé à 75 km de Bria, craignant pour leur sécurité, effectuent des mouvements pendulaires préventifs vers les champs environnants ainsi que vers la ville de Bria, à la suite l’incursion d’éléments armés dans le village, lesquels se seraient installés à proximité du centre de santé local, provoquant la fuite du personnel soignant. À ce jour, certains de ces éléments armés auraient été signalés le long de l’axe Irabanda–Ippy. Les localités d’Irabanda et d’Aigbando restent difficiles d’accès depuis plusieurs années en raison de la présence de groupes armés et de mauvais était de la route. Cette situation prolongée a considérablement accru la vulnérabilité des communautés. OCHA coordonne avec les autorités locales et les partenaires humanitaires afin d’évaluer les besoins et soutenir la réponse en faveur des communautés affectées Préfecture de la Vakaga – Nord-Est Les habitants de Tissi-Fongoro, un village situé dans la zone des trois frontières (triangulaire) entre la République centrafricaine (RCA), le Tchad (au nord) et le Soudan (à l’est), craignant pour leur sécurité, effectuent des mouvements pendulaires vers les champs environnants depuis le 11 mai, suite à l’arrivée d’un grand nombre d’éléments armés dans le village. Les activités humanitaires dans la zone risquent d’être perturbées. Depuis le déclenchement du conflit au Soudan en avril 2023, la RCA continue d’accueillir des réfugiés fuyant les violences, principalement via la frontière d’Am-Dafock dans la préfecture de Vakaga. Au 30 avril 2026, plus de 43 000 personnes avaient trouvé refuge en RCA, dont plus de 36 000 réfugiés soudanais et près de 7 000 rapatriés réfugiés. Les autorités centrafricaines ont maintenu une politique d’accueille, depuis août 2023 et ont accordé le statut de réfugié prima facies aux ressortissants soudanais. La majorité des réfugiés, principalement des femmes et des enfants, sont accueillis dans le quartier Korsi à Birao, tandis que d’autres vivent dans des zones difficiles d’accès où l’accès aux services de base reste limité en raison de l’insécurité, de contraintes logistiques et d’un financement insuffisant. À Birao, la population réfugiée est désormais estimée à près du double de la population locale. La situation continue d’exercer une pression supplémentaire sur la Vakaga, l’une des régions les plus vulnérables et les moins desservies du pays. BESOINS ET REPONSE HUMANITAIRE Multisectoriel Préfecture de la Haute-Kotto – Centre Depuis le 23 mai, 122 retournés spontanés en provenance du Soudan sont arrivés dans le village de Raba, situé à 4 km de Bria, après un trajet de 28 jours effectué dans des conditions difficiles. Un décès a été signalé au cours de ce déplacement parmi les personnes retournées. À leur arrivée, les ménages font face à d’importants besoins humanitaires, notamment en matière d’abris, d’assistance alimentaire, d’accès aux soins de santé et de protection. Sécurité alimentaire Préfecture de la Nana-Gribizi - Centre L’ONG Welthungerhilfe a apporté, du 18 au 22 mai, une assistance à 52 ménages retournés issus des anciens sites de personnes déplacées de Kaga-Bandoro, à travers la distribution à chaque ménage d’un couple d’ovins et de caprins. Parallèlement, 288 membres de groupements agro‑multiplicateurs de semences (GAMS), dont 110 femmes, ont bénéficié d’un renforcement des capacités. À Kaga‑Bandoro, cette approche intégrée, combinant appui agricole et soutien à l’élevage, vise à relancer les moyens de subsistance, renforcer l’autonomie économique des ménages vulnérables et améliorer leur sécurité alimentaire, dans un contexte encore marqué par des violences armées récentes.

Country: Sudan Source: Life for Relief and Development By Tasneem El-Raidi This year’s Eid al-Adha comes as Sudan continues to endure one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. The ongoing war, now lasting for more than two years, has displaced millions of families and left vast numbers of people without sources of income. Millions are facing tragic conditions inside displacement camps and conflict zones amid rapidly rising hunger rates and unprecedented food prices. According to reports from the World Food Programme, nearly 19.5 million people are suffering from acute hunger and food insecurity, including 135,000 people living under catastrophic famine conditions. Around 34 million Sudanese urgently require humanitarian assistance, while more than 4.2 million children are suffering from acute malnutrition, making Sudan currently one of the gravest hunger and humanitarian disaster zones in the world. 510,000 Poor Families Benefited from Qurbani Meat in 2025 Life for Relief and Development continues its intensive preparations to launch its Eid al-Adha projects through field teams operating across Sudan and many countries around the world. We spoke with Vicky Roob, National and International Programs Director at the organization, who explained that the Qurbani project is one of the deepest humanitarian initiatives the organization has carried out for more than 33 years. It is not only because it provides food, but because it also brings dignity and joy to families who wait for Eid al-Adha year after year, hoping they might be able to eat meat, even if only for a few days. She added that the successive humanitarian crises — including famine in Sudan and other Arab countries, global inflation, and the sharp rise in food and meat prices across most African countries — have left millions of families unable to secure even their most basic nutritional needs. “Today, we are no longer speaking only about poverty,” she said. “We are speaking about entire families that can no longer provide food, and children who experience Eid while waiting for a meal they may receive only once a year. Some know the smell of grilled meat more than they know its taste, living in hope that their share of the Qurbani meat will reach them during Eid.” Omar El-Raidi, Director of the Projects Department, added: “The Qurbani project carries a unique humanitarian dimension unlike other relief programs because it does not only address direct needs, but also touches the psychological and social wellbeing of struggling families. In other relief programs, we provide what is necessary for families to survive and remain resilient. But Qurbani offers something different — it gives families a sense of participation, joy, and dignity, fulfilling a simple wish that may seem ordinary to some, but means a great deal to millions of people in need.” He explained that “Life” is implementing the Qurbani project this year in 39 countries and regions worldwide, including areas suffering from conflict, humanitarian disasters, and severe poverty, such as Gaza, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bosnia, Djibouti, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Côte d’Ivoire, Jordan, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Somaliland, Sri Lanka, Syria, Tanzania, Togo, Turkey, Uganda, the West Bank, and Yemen. “Our Qurbani Meat Is Delivered to Needy Families with the Same Quality We Serve Our Own Children” From Sudan, we also spoke with Ms. Rima Bakir, Life’s Project Coordinator in Sudan, who explained that last year the organization provided Qurbani meat to 15,120 displaced people in the Yifi and Dashrifi village clusters in Kassala State. Regarding the preparation and distribution process, she said: “The Qurbani project carries a special humanitarian dimension that goes beyond traditional aid because it gives vulnerable families a rare opportunity to obtain food they may not be able to afford throughout the entire year. There are families living under extremely harsh conditions, such as widows in displacement camps or families who have completely lost their sources of income. When these families receive even a small amount of money, they are forced to spend it on the most urgent necessities such as flour, medicine, and essential living supplies, while meat remains completely beyond their purchasing power. But when Qurbani meat reaches them directly, it becomes a real family meal around which everyone gathers, allowing children to experience the joy of Eid — something many have been deprived of for years.” She emphasized that “Life” pays close attention to the quality of the sacrificial animals and the distribution process out of respect for the dignity of beneficiaries and their right to receive safe and nutritious food. “We are committed to all Islamic and health standards during the implementation of the project. We ensure that the sacrificial animals meet religious requirements, and we carefully supervise every stage of slaughtering, preparation, and distribution. We also ensure that the meat reaching needy families is fresh and of high quality. We do not treat the Qurbani project merely as aid distribution, but as a humanitarian message. Therefore, we believe that what reaches the tables of struggling families should be of the same quality we would accept for our own families and children.” Between the Donor and the Needy… A Network of Trust Despite the unprecedented humanitarian and security complications witnessed in Sudan, “Life” has continued implementing the Qurbani project in an effort to reach displaced and affected families living under devastating conditions caused by war and repeated displacement. Working inside Sudan during wartime has not been an easy task, but Life’s teams have made exceptional efforts to ensure that Qurbani meat reaches displaced families enduring extremely difficult humanitarian conditions. The organization confirmed that priority in distribution is given to the most vulnerable groups, including displaced and refugee families, victims of wars and natural disasters, as well as orphans, widows, elderly people, and families suffering from extreme poverty. Life’s teams have continued carrying out Qurbani distributions in Sudan for the third consecutive year despite escalating conflict and the increasing difficulty of humanitarian access to many affected regions. The organization’s efforts during Eid al-Adha are not limited to distributing meat. They also include humanitarian and recreational programs targeting children and affected families. “Life” organizes family Eid celebrations and special events for orphans that include entertainment activities and psychological support programs aimed at bringing some joy to children living amid war, displacement, and disasters. These activities seek to ease the psychological burdens suffered by children and their families throughout the year, especially inside displacement shelters, by creating celebratory environments that provide them with a temporary sense of safety and happiness. The organization currently sponsors more than 13,100 orphans around the world through its continuous humanitarian care and sponsorship programs.

Country: occupied Palestinian territory Source: Medical Aid for Palestinians On 1 June, Israeli authorities will invite bids from private companies to construct 3,400 new settlement units in the occupied West Bank – a step that would effectively cut off occupied East Jerusalem from the rest of the occupied West Bank, further fragment Palestinian territory, forcibly displace communities including Khan al-Ahmar and restrict access to essential healthcare. This step would consolidate Israeli control over the corridor linking East Jerusalem to the Ma’ale Adumim settlement bloc – an outcome widely recognised by governments as undermining the viability of a contiguous Palestinian state and violating international law. In a joint statement last week, the UK and partner governments warned that companies involved in such settlement activity may face “legal and reputational consequences.” Palestinian families in Khan Al-Ahmar now face imminent forced displacement after Israeli authorities moved last week to revive long-standing demolition orders against the community. Khan Al-Ahmar is one of 18 Bedouin and herding communities in the path of the plan. Around 4,000 Palestinians across the 18 communities could lose their homes and land. Abu Khamees, a community leader in Khan Al-Ahmar, has lived under the shadow of demolition orders for years. Nothing, he says, prepared him for this. “Families here are not prepared to leave. We had been living in limbo for years given a temporary halt on the demolition order. The decision for imminent forced displacement was like an electric shock to us. People are anxious about where to go with their children as well as how to access essential services like health and education. People here have already been suffering because reaching healthcare has been extremely difficult, with interrupted services due to movement restrictions and checkpoints. "This is a nail in the coffin of the so-called two-state solution; with the forced displacement of our community Khan Al-Ahmar, and the completion of the E1 settlement project, which has been considered a redline by Western governments for decades. This also jeopardises regional peace and stability. What is the international community willing to do after all these empty promises?" MAP’s mobile clinics have delivered essential healthcare to over 33,000 Palestinians across 22 communities since 2025. Many of these communities are in “Area C”, which covers approximately 60% of the West Bank and is under full Israeli military control, where access to permanent health services is denied due to Israel’s apartheid policies. In these areas, mobile care is often the only lifeline, reaching isolated communities that are cut off from hospitals and clinics due to movement restrictions and settlement expansion. Israel's illegal settlement expansion across the West Bank has systematically fragmented Palestinian communities, severing patients from hospitals and clinics through settler-only roads, checkpoints and the separation wall. Settler violence has further deterred patients and healthcare workers from travelling. The result is a population denied timely, consistent access to the healthcare they urgently need. Khan al-Ahmar is not an isolated case. A parallel E2 project south of Bethlehem would see around 2,500 new settlement units built in a corridor designed to sever the southern West Bank in half. Israeli authorities have already approved 3,401 new settlement units in the E1 area alone. Israeli settlement expansion is compounded by escalating settler violence, which forms part of a broader coercive environment driving the displacement of Palestinians and entrenching de facto annexation. In a single week (12-18 May 2026), settlers carried out more than 50 attacks, including arson targeting homes, farmland and a mosque. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) , 870 attacks have been recorded across more than 220 communities so far this year – an average of six per day. Since January 2025, settler violence and related access restrictions have displaced thousands of Palestinians across the West Bank, with at least 38-45 rural and herding communities fully or largely emptied. Aseel Baidoun, MAP’s Deputy Director of Advocacy and Communications based in the West Bank, said: “The threatened destruction of Khan al-Ahmar exposes the hollowness of years of international handwringing over illegal settlements. Governments have spent decades calling E1 a red line, warning it would shatter any prospects of a viable Palestinian state, while doing virtually nothing to curb Israel's impunity. "If Khan al-Ahmar is erased from the map, it will not happen quietly or accidentally. It will happen after years of empty statements, diplomatic theatre, and deliberate political cowardice from governments that claim to support international law while allowing Israel to carve apart the West Bank piece by piece. Empty condemnation while illegal settlements expand in plain sight is not diplomacy – it's complicity in the ethnic cleansing.” MAP calls on the UK government to follow in the Netherlands, Spain, Slovenia, and Ireland’s footsteps and end trade with illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. This move, backed by 119 MPs, is consistent with the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 ruling that Israel’s decades-long occupation of the West Bank is unlawful. Nearly two years on from the ICJ’s advisory opinion, the UK government has still not published its legal review or set out any concrete steps to implement it.
