Countries: World, United Republic of Tanzania Source: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies At a school on the Unguja Island, part of the Tanzanian archipelago known as Zanzibar, volunteers from the Tanzania Red Cross Society explain to a classroom full of students how to protect themselves from the dangers of extreme heat. The volunteers’ efforts were part of a larger heatwave awareness campaign in early 2026, led by the Tanzanian Red Cross, that has reached more than 4,000 people in schools, madrasas, markets, and communities around the island. This is just one of many ways Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies around the world regularly work to protect people from the dangers of extreme heat – including the very particular dangers of indoor heat. Why focus on indoor heat? When thinking about or preparing for heatwaves, people often think of blistering days outside in the hot sun. But people living or working indoors, in uncooled or poorly ventilated spaces, can sometimes be at even greater risk of heat stroke, dehydration and other heat-related risks. Those most susceptible to rising body temperatures — children and the elderly — are particularly vulnerable and, often, they must spend long periods of the day inside. These are some of the reasons Heat Action Day 2026 focuses on ‘indoor heat’ — putting the spotlight on the health risks people face inside their homes, schools, workplaces, care facilities, transport hubs, prisons and even public vechiles such as busses and taxis. (Learn more about how to #BeatTheHeat and about how to take part in Heat Action Day 2026.) This threat is nothing new to Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers who often go door-to-door during heatwaves, visiting people who live in densely populated urban neighborhoods, work in poorly insulated industrial areas, or live in camps for people displaced by emergencies. Very often, such facilities or temporary shelters lack insulation or access to energy or water sources that can help keep people cool. Building materials, design characteristics, and urban heat island all play a role in determining indoor temperatures. Rising risks Without respite and access to cooling, high day- and night-time indoor temperatures pose significant health risks, particularly for older people and those with pre-existing medical conditions. Beyond heat stroke, high temperatures can have a wide range of health effects. According to a 2020 study, for example, high indoor temperatures affect multiple aspects of human health, with the strongest evidence for respiratory health, diabetes management and core schizophrenia and dementia symptoms, according to one 2020 study. Other studies show that prolonged exposure to high indoor temperatures is also responsible for sleep disturbances, cognitive impairment of workers, reduced learning uptake in students, and domestic violence. More research needs to be done, however, so policy makers, urban planners and architects can better understand how to reduce extreme urban heat. At the same time, building standards and indoor heat policies need urgent updates. In many places, indoor heat standards do not exist, or they overlook vulnerable populations and climate projections. The good news is that it is possible to improve the way buildings and public spaces are designed and constructed to better protect people living and working indoors. Meanwhile, more governments, agencies and communities are taking action. For example: painting roofs white, keeping windows covered during the hottest times of day, and using passive cooling at night when temperatures outside cool down. There are also many low-cost actions one can take to cool the body: a cool shower, submerging feet in cool water, self-dousing with water, using an evaporative cooler or misting fan, ingesting cold water, wearing clothing made from natural fibres, and sleeping with a wet sheet, among other measures. As part of its 2026 Heat Action Day activation, the IFRC also encourages people to proactively reach out to support the elderly and chronically ill during times of extreme heat, especially those with limited mobility who may need help getting to a cooler space. How can you take part in Heat Action Day? As the organization that created Heat Action Day, the IFRC each year encourages more and more activities to raise awareness and encourage people to take concrete action to prevent heat related illness and death. Whether you're sharing life-saving tips on social media or organizing a community event, there are many ways to get involved and help #BeatTheHeat.

Country: Sudan Source: United Nations Population Fund Please refer to the attached file. An estimated 8.8 million people remain displaced across all 18 states of Sudan, and the recent intensification of fighting is driving new waves of displacement that further add pressure to overstretched services and host communities while contributing to widespread risk of gender-based violence (GBV). A joint mission confirmed that women and girls in Blue Nile displacement sites face heightened exposure to harassment and sexual violence due to unsafe living conditions and weak protection systems. The situation in South Kordofan remains volatile; after more than two years of siege, women and girls face compounding protection risks, including direct exposure to hostilities, heightened harassment, questioning at checkpoints, and detention. Deteriorating conditions lead to harassment, child marriage, and intimate partner violence driven by economic hardship. In response to the significant needs, UNFPA reestablished its physical presence in White Nile and Darfur states, having paused operations in those locations in 2023, and rapidly scaled up the delivery of life-saving sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and GBV services. In April 2026, UNFPA and its implementing partners collectively reached 77,570 people with SRH services across 17 states and provided GBV protection and response services to over 102,700 people, primarily internally displaced persons, across 14 states. In 2026, UNFPA is appealing for US $129.2 million to respond to critical SRH and GBV needs in Sudan. To date, around 29% of this funding has been received, leaving a significant gap of US$92 million. UNFPA continues to call for urgent financial support to address the growing needs of women and girls across the country.
Country: Lebanon Source: Médecins Sans Frontières MSF calls on Israeli authorities to guarantee the protection of civilians, medical and rescue personnel, and health facilities. The security situation in southern Lebanon is rapidly deteriorating amid ongoing Israeli military operations, including strikes and large-scale forced displacement orders. The escalation is severely impacting people and their access to health care. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams working in hospitals continue to see wounded civilians. Jeremy Ristord, MSF head of mission in Lebanon, said today: “Despite the so-called ceasefire, we are currently witnessing an alarming situation in southern Lebanon. There is ongoing Israeli military escalation expanding northwards, and large-scale forced displacement orders are impacting most of the south of the country. “In recent days, our teams supporting local hospitals in Tyre (Sour) and Nabatiyeh have received successive waves of casualties amid a rapidly deteriorating security context. Hundreds of strikes have been reported in the areas where we work. Nine health workers have been killed, 48 injured, and seven ambulances have been hit in just 10 days, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). If medical teams, including MSF staff, are forced to suspend activities, communities will be left without lifesaving care at a time when needs are critical. “In the hospitals we support, civilians continue to arrive with severe injuries — including skull fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and shrapnel from drone explosions lodged in their lungs and liver. In some cases, entire families have been injured or killed. “This worsening situation risks having further consequences for people’s access to health care. If medical teams, including MSF staff, are forced to suspend activities, communities will be left without lifesaving care at a time when needs are critical. “MSF reiterates its calls on Israeli authorities to guarantee the protection of civilians, medical and rescue personnel, and health facilities.”
Country: Lebanon Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached file. HIGHLIGHTS Hostilities continued despite the ceasefire extension announcement, with airstrikes and displacement orders affecting at least 40 new localities in southern Lebanon. A total of 33,897 families (129,724 people) remain displaced across 635 collective shelters. Close to 52 per cent of displaced people in collective shelters are women and girls. Hostilities have killed at least 3,185 people and injured 9,633 people since 2 March, according to Ministry of Public Health. An audit of gender-based violence (GBV) risks in 180 collective shelters has revealed severe protection risks. Between 21 and 25 May, nine incidents targeting health care were recorded, resulting in eight deaths and forty-five injuries among health care workers. Access to maternal health services and acute medical care remains critically constrained in communities south of the Litani River. The Lebanon Flash Appeal is 58 per cent funded. An extension until end August of the appeal will be launched in the first week of June 2026. SITUATION OVERVIEW Airstrikes across Nabatiyeh and South Lebanon Governorate including Tyre district continued, resulting in widespread casualties, displacement, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. According to the Ministry of Public Health, 3,185 people have been killed since 2 March 2026, including 276 women and 217 children, while 9,633 people have been injured, among them 1,152 women and 854 children. Beyond immediate casualties, the death, injury, or displacement of adult household members is increasingly disrupting family structures. In many cases, women are assuming greater responsibility for care, income, decision-making, and access to assistance. Sustained and flexible funding is urgently needed to ensure that protection, cash, shelter, health, WASH, and livelihoods responses can identify and adequately support households facing these shifting dynamics. Displacement levels continue to rise due to ongoing hostilities and successive displacement orders. During the reporting period, 6 renewed and 6 new displacement orders were issued for 40 localities, the majority located in Tyre District in the South governorate. These orders have triggered significant new population movements across the south. As of 25 May 2026, approximately 129,724 people, representing 33,897 families, were reported as displaced across 635 collective shelters nationwide, reflecting a clear and sustained upward trend in displacement figures. Beirut and Mount Lebanon governorates continue to host the largest number of displaced people, while pressure on shelters across other governorates is also increasing. Despite a ceasefire extension announcement and the adoption of a World Health Assembly resolution calling for the protection of healthcare in Lebanon on 21 May 2026, attacks on medical personnel and facilities have continued. Since 2 March, 173 incidents have been recorded, resulting in 123 deaths and 273 injuries among health care workers, underscoring the urgent need for all parties to respect and uphold their obligations under International Humanitarian Law According to the Health Sector Emergency Situation Report, access to maternal and acute care south of the Litani River remains critically constrained, with patients facing delays of up to 48 hours to secure clearance for referral. Between 60 and 80 per cent of households in affected districts are unable to afford health services. The capacity of health systems is under severe strain, with only 68 per cent of facilities fully functional and 29 per cent partially operational, hampered by insecurity, staff shortages, stock depletion of essential medicines, and weak referral systems. Public health risks in areas affected by the hostilities are rising, with a growing incidence of respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, mental health conditions, and injuries, compounded by critical shortages of medications for non-communicable diseases, trauma supplies, and fuel to operate health care facilities. On 22 May, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator visited Tyre alongside inter-sector coordination group agency leads. The group met with the Tyre Union of Municipalities and Disaster Risk Reduction Manager, who noted that current displacement numbers exceed those recorded during the 2024 conflict. It was also mentioned that small numbers of displaced families are returning despite ongoing risks, driven largely by economic pressure and strong attachment to their lands. A GBV safety audit of 180 collective shelters revealed severe protection risks, including overcrowding, lack of privacy, poor lighting, and inadequate separation of vulnerable groups, with female-headed households, adolescent girls, and people with disabilities identified as most at risk. Funding constraints remain a major challenge to sustaining life‑saving assistance. As of 25 May, the 2026, Lebanon Flash Appeal, requiring $308 million, is only 58 per cent funded with around $180 million received. The remaining significant funding gap is limiting the ability of humanitarian partners to maintain essential services and expand response capacities especially under continuous waves of renewed displacement.
Country: Chad Source: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Please refer to the attached file. SUMMARY OF THE SIMPLIFIED EARLY ACTION PROTOCOL The IFRC Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) has allocated CHF 122,718for the implementation anticipatory actions to reduce and mitigate the impact of (Rainfall flooding) in (Chad). This simplified Early Action Protocol includes an allocation of CHF 73,734 to preposition stock and undertake annual readiness activities in order to implement early actions, if and when the trigger is reached. The early actions to be conducted have been pre-agreed with the National Society and are described in the simplified Early Action Protocol. This report summarizes the annual readiness and preposition activities done in the reporting period. Chad is a country highly exposed to the effects of climate change, as confirmed by the analyses of the Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI). In addition, an assessment conducted by Verisk Maplecroft, a global risk monitoring and advisory organization, also ranks Chad among the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change. The increasing frequency of extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, heatwaves and high winds is a clear manifestation of climate change, with significant humanitarian consequences for the population. Given this increased vulnerability, lack of resources and challenges related to the humanitarian response, actors in the sector are mobilizing to develop anticipatory actions to better deal with future crises. It is in this context that the Red Cross Society of Chad (CRT), in partnership with its partners, has obtained technical and financial validation for the Simplified Early Action Protocol (sEAP) for rainwater floods. This protocol aims to implement anticipatory activities to mitigate the impacts of flooding in six provinces: Mayo Kebbi East, Mandoul, Tandjilé, Logone Oriental, Moyen Chari and Salamat. Chad's sEAP was approved on 20/08/2024. Following this, the Red Cross Society of Chad (CRT) coordinated closely with the National Meteorological Services to monitor triggers, using seasonal rainfall data. The National Meteorological Agency of Chad (ANAM) has shared the 2025 seasonal forecast data with the Disaster Management Department of the Red Cross of Chad. According to these forecasts, excess rainfall accumulations are expected in both the Sudanian and Sahelian areas of the country, with an increased risk of flooding from July to September. This situation triggered the preparation activities, including the holding of information meetings with all stakeholders, the validation of target areas at the provincial level, the pre-positioning of stocks as well as the training of intervention teams. However, during the rainy season, the Chad Red Cross (CRT) continued to monitor triggers and thresholds in close coordination with ANAM. Finally, the weekly forecasts of the Extreme Prediction Index (EFI) remained below the threshold for the activation of the simplified sEAP, which resulted in the non-activation of the anticipated actions. During the reporting period, the Chad Red Cross Society (CRT) made significant progress in strengthening its preparedness for the implementation of the anticipated actions. To support this effort, the CRT organized meetings in each target province with local administrative authorities, provincial action committees (PCAs), community members, and Red Cross staff and volunteers. These meetings provided an opportunity to present the project to stakeholders and identify areas at risk of flooding at the provincial level. Fortunately, all of the targeted provinces already had contingency plans in place that included these flood zones. In addition, the sEAP was presented to local authorities and CPA members to ensure their ownership and active involvement in the implementation of the anticipated actions. The CRT also organized two-day training sessions in each province, reaching a total of 70 Chadian Red Cross staff and volunteers. These trainings focused on beneficiary targeting techniques, distribution procedures, as well as community awareness sessions on early warning, anticipatory actions and hygiene promotion. These training Hydrographic Map of Chad sessions were held in the provinces of Mayo Kebbi East, Mandoul, Tandjilé, Logone Oriental, Moyen Chari and Salamat, with 70 participants, including 19 women and 51 men who successfully completed the training. At the end of the training, these trained people are ready and able to intervene when the early actions are activated. An important milestone was also reached with the signing of an agreement (Accord) between the CRT and ANAM, thus strengthening their partnership and collaboration in data sharing and monitoring of triggers under the sEAP. The CRT has also acquired and pre-positioned sanitation equipment, including: 350 wheelbarrows, 700 rakes, 700 shovels, 700 pickaxes, 20,000 empty 100 kg bags, as well as 350 Essential Household Goods (AME) kits including 350 3-seater mats, 350 mosquito nets, 350 blankets, 350 20-liter jerry cans, 350 plastic cups, 350 15-liter buckets and 700 liters of bleach. Coordination through regular meetings between the CRT, the IFRC, the French Red Cross (FRC), UN agencies and government technical services demonstrates a strong commitment to partnership and effective anticipatory action. These meetings provide valuable platforms to address emerging challenges, review ongoing initiatives, and align strategies to provide timely and effective responses in high-risk areas.
Country: occupied Palestinian territory Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached file. Highlights In just one week, more than 50 attacks by settlers across the West Bank resulted in casualties or property damage, including arson attacks that damaged a mosque, homes, farmland and vehicles. OCHA has documented an average of six such attacks per day in 2026. Concerns over the risk of forced displacement of hundreds of Palestinians in eastern Jerusalem governorate intensified after the Israeli Finance Minister called for the rapid implementation of long-standing demolition orders against Khan al Ahmar. In Gaza, humanitarian partners have launched a pest-control campaign in over 1,700 locations, while warning that their efforts are limited by shortages and restrictions. Only half of all aid trucks from Egypt could offload at the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom Crossing in the first 18 days of May, based on data tracked by the Logistics Cluster. Overview The Occupied Palestinian Territory remains heavily fragmented; with people not allowed to move between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and movement within each of those areas further restricted by military divisions, physical barriers, and closed zones. Combined with ongoing violence, which keeps claiming civilian lives, these conditions are further deepening people’s humanitarian needs while making it both difficult and unsafe for them to access support. This past week saw new waves of displacement before previous ones had even ended, as attacks and threats once again forced people from their homes or shelters. For humanitarian partners, getting staff and the whole range of critical supplies to where they are needed remains extremely difficult. West Bank Across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, escalating settler violence, Israeli forces’ operations, demolitions, displacement, and movement restrictions are increasingly heightening protection risks and disrupting Palestinians’ access to essential services. Hundreds of Palestinians living in Area C of eastern Jerusalem governorate are at risk of forced displacement, with concerns intensifying after the Israeli Finance Minister instructed Israeli authorities to rapidly implement long-standing demolition orders against Khan al Ahmar. Bedouin community leaders reported high levels of fear and uncertainty among residents following the announcement. Khan al Ahmar is among 18 Bedouin and herding communities, comprising about 4,000 people, directly affected by the E1 settlement plan between East Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim settlement. Humanitarian partners have long warned that the E1 settlement plan would further fragment the West Bank, sever East Jerusalem from the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, heighten the risk of forced displacement of Bedouin communities, and have severe humanitarian consequences for Palestinians across the West Bank. Since 2009, OCHA has documented the demolition of about 550 structures in the 18 communities for lacking Israeli-issued building permits, which are difficult for Palestinians to obtain, including 175 donor-funded structures provided as humanitarian assistance. According to the Shelter Cluster, between 1 January and 30 April, partners reached over 9,300 households, comprising more than 40,300 people, across the West Bank with shelter assistance, targeting displaced families and others affected by conflict-related damage, escalating settler violence, the increasing risk of forcible displacement of entire communities, and deteriorating shelter conditions. Assistance included shelter repairs and rehabilitation; support to displaced families in meeting basic shelter needs; installation of protective measures such as fences, doors, and window mesh; cash assistance for rental support; and the provision of tents, plastic sheeting, bedding kits, kitchen sets, and clothing vouchers. To help Palestinian communities cope with displacement shocks and heightened insecurity, community-based psychosocial support remains the primary intervention modality, complemented by recreational and structured support activities as well as parenting sessions. On average every week, child protection partners provide mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) to approximately 1,600 children, including about 80 children with disabilities, and more than 670 caregivers. Partners additionally reach a weekly average of about 380 children and 100 caregivers through awareness raising sessions, including explosive ordnance risk education. Over the past week, cash assistance as well as clothing and other in-kind assistance was provided to about 60 children and 12 caregivers to help address urgent needs and reduce exposure to negative coping mechanisms, while 35 children received case management support, including specialized referrals. Casualties and Escalating Settler Violence Between 12 and 18 May (the reporting period in this section), Israeli forces and settlers killed five Palestinians, including one child, while nearly 60 Palestinians, including six children, were injured across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. More than half of the injuries occurred during settler attacks, while the remainder were mainly recorded in the context of Israeli forces’ search operations and other raids. During the same period, OCHA documented more than 50 Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians that resulted in casualties, property damage, or both, bringing the number of such attacks documented since the beginning of 2026 to over 870 across more than 220 communities – an average of six attacks per day. Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinian men while they were reportedly attempting to cross the Barrier. On 12 May, Israeli forces opened fire toward two Palestinians attempting to scale the Barrier near Dahiyat al Bareed, in Jerusalem governorate, killing a Palestinian man from Deir Qaddis village (Ramallah governorate) and injuring another. On 17 May, Israeli forces shot a Palestinian man near the Barrier in Beit Ula village, in Hebron governorate, under similar circumstances. He succumbed to his wounds the following day. Since 7 October 2023, when Israeli authorities revoked or suspended most permits issued to Palestinians to access East Jerusalem and Israel for work and other purposes, and as of 11 May, OCHA has documented the killing of 19 Palestinians and the injury of over 290 others who were reportedly attempting to cross the Barrier. On 14 May, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian child in Al Lubban ash Sharqiya village, in Nablus governorate and withheld his body. In a statement, the Israeli military said that soldiers had opened fire toward Palestinians near Road 60 after stones were thrown at Israeli vehicles traveling on the road. Elsewhere in the northern West Bank, on 16 May, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian man at the entrance to Jenin Camp, which has remained a closed military zone since January 2025, reportedly while he was attempting to enter. In a large-scale attack across Sinjil, Jiljiliya and Abwein villages in Ramallah governorate on 13 May, Israeli forces and settlers shot and killed one Palestinian and injured 10 Palestinians. According to local sources and video footage, dozens of Israeli settlers raided the western area of Sinjil and nearby areas in Jiljiliya and Abwein villages, stealing Palestinian-owned livestock and other property. When residents attempted to retrieve stolen flocks, Israeli forces and settlers fired live ammunition, rubber bullets and tear gas canisters. In a statement, the Israeli military said forces had entered the area following reports that Palestinians had stolen sheep from a settlement outpost, and that troops responded with crowd-control measures and live fire after stones were thrown at them while exiting the village. Subsequently, on 16 May, 22 Palestinian Bedouin families, comprising 137 people including 81 children, in the area were forcibly displaced from the area following recurrent settler attacks and intimidation. The families had previously been displaced from three other communities in 2023 due to settler violence. The reporting period saw a concerning escalation in arson attacks targeting Palestinian property, especially in Ramallah and Hebron governorate, including incidents involving anti-Palestinian graffiti. In one incident, Israeli settlers set fire to a mosque in Jibiya village in Ramallah governorate. In Al Mughayyir and Burqa villages, also in Ramallah governorate, settlers set fire to agricultural land, burning olive trees and cultivated areas, with one fire spreading across about 10 dunums due to strong winds. In Wadi ar Rakhim community near Susiya, in southern Hebron governorate, Israeli settlers threw flammable materials toward a Palestinian home, setting fire to an external kitchen, damaging a parked vehicle, and causing damage to parts of the house. In addition to the arson attacks, Israeli settlers carried out multiple assaults on Palestinian homes and infrastructure across Ramallah, Nablus, Salfit and Hebron governorates. These included physical assaults against Palestinians, attacks on homes while families, including children, were inside, damage to water and electricity infrastructure, theft and vandalism of agricultural property, and the destruction of olive trees and fencing. In one incident in Hebron governorate on 17 May, a large group of settlers reportedly physically assaulted four Palestinians and damaged residential structures and personal property in Umm ad Daraj community near Sa’ir village. In Ramallah governorate, settlers from a recently established outpost near Ein ‘Arik village reportedly raided homes, physically assaulted four Palestinians, vandalized water tanks and construction materials, and seized electric cables. A Palestinian-owned car torched in Jibiya village, Ramallah governorate, where Israeli settlers also set fire to a mosque and spray-painted Hebrew graffiti on its walls during one of more than 50 settler attacks documented across the West Bank during the week of 12-18 May 2026. Photo by OCHA. On 14, 15 and 16 May, during the annual Israeli “Jerusalem Day” and accompanying “Flag March” events, Israeli settlers and other Israelis, including Israeli officials, marched through the Old City of Jerusalem and several Palestinian neighbourhoods in East Jerusalem under protection by Israeli forces. Israeli forces erected barriers, restricted Palestinian movement and access, including to Al Aqsa Mosque, and facilitated the marches throughout the Old City and surrounding areas. During the events, settlers assaulted Palestinians and damaged Palestinian-owned property, including shops and homes, while chanting anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian slogans. In Silwan neighbourhood, settlers physically assaulted and injured a 16-year-old Palestinian boy with a metal stick, causing facial fractures, while in the Old City two Palestinian shop owners were injured after settlers attacked their stores and sprayed them with pepper spray. According to local sources, Israeli forces also physically assaulted and arrested at least 20 Palestinians during the three-day events. Demolitions and Displacement During the reporting period, Israeli authorities demolished four homes and 20 agricultural and livelihood-related structures for lacking Israeli-issued building permits, which are nearly impossible for Palestinians to obtain. Overall, 19 structures were demolished in Area C and five in East Jerusalem, resulting in the displacement of five households comprising 26 people, including nine children, of whom 15 people were displaced in East Jerusalem and 11 in Area C. Eighteen of the 19 structures demolished in Area C were agricultural or livelihood-related structures, including 12 structures demolished in a single incident on 13 May in Area C of Al Marwaha area of Beit Hanina, on the Jerusalem side of the Barrier. During the incident, the Israeli Civil Administration, accompanied by Israeli forces, demolished animal shelters, caravans, and storage and sales facilities for construction materials, in addition to surrounding fences, affecting seven Palestinian households comprising 41 people, including 23 children. The demolition resulted in significant financial losses, as affected families were unable to remove most materials and equipment prior to the operation. Since the beginning of 2026, about 71 per cent of the approximately 400 structures demolished in Area C for lacking Israeli-issued building permits have been agricultural, livelihood-related, or water and sanitation structures. Humanitarian Impacts of Raids and Movement Restrictions During the reporting period, OCHA documented more than 40 raids and other operations by Israeli forces across the West Bank, involving house searches, mass detentions, temporary home evacuations, and movement restrictions, disrupting access to livelihoods, education and essential services and heightening fear and distress among affected communities. In multiple governorates, including Tubas, Salfit, Jenin and Nablus, Israeli forces carried out prolonged raids involving large-scale house searches, temporary takeover of Palestinian homes for military use, detentions, and reported physical assaults. In one raid on 17 May in Burin village, home to about 3,000 Palestinians southwest of Nablus city, Israeli forces closed all entrances to the village for nearly 19 hours, reportedly after alleging that stones had been thrown at Israeli vehicles. The closure disrupted movement and access to work and education, forcing shops to close and leading some schools to postpone exams and suspend classes. Separately, Israeli settlers, reportedly from nearby settlement outposts and often accompanied by Israeli forces, carried out repeated attacks against homes in Burin village during the reporting period. At least two attacks included attempted break-ins, damage to property, and physical assaults against residents. In one of these attacks on 13 May, a 13-year-old Palestinian girl was reportedly struck on the head with a stick by an Israeli settler while her family attempted to protect their livestock during an attack on their home. She was treated at the scene by Palestine Red Crescent Society paramedics. Moreover, about 100 students attempting to reach a Palestinian school in the H2 area of Hebron city through As Salaymeh (160) checkpoint were reportedly subjected to repeated delays and restrictive measures imposed by Israeli forces, including demands to present birth certificates and, in some cases, be accompanied by a parent. On 11 May, 103 students were unable to reach the school altogether. Similar restrictions and delays were again reported on 14 and 18 May, disrupting students’ access to education. For key figures and additional breakdowns of casualties, displacement and settler violence between January 2005 and March 2026, please refer to the OCHA West Bank March 2026 Snapshot. Gaza Strip The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains critical, with many displaced families continuing to shelter in overcrowded tents, schools, or damaged structures due to the lack of safe alternatives. Access to essential services also remains severely constrained, including limited availability of clean water and inadequate waste management systems that are unable to effectively address growing public health risks, including the spread of pests and rodents. Many residential areas across Gaza remain unsafe and exposed to recurrent strikes, shelling, and shooting incidents in or near populated areas. Ongoing insecurity and access constraints are disrupting some humanitarian and community‑based activities, while aid workers continue to report significant access impediments in areas where Israeli authorities require humanitarian teams to coordinate their movements with them. Between 16 and 17 May, humanitarian partners recorded the displacement of more than 150 families from eastern Khan Younis and eastern Gaza city. Affected families said they fled because of tank movements or bombing. Forty of the newly displaced families have been identified by partners as requiring emergency assistance as they fled with only what they could carry, and a response by multiple partners has been initialized. Simultaneously, Israeli strikes continued to be reported during the reporting period, affecting residential areas and makeshift shelters. In one incident on 18 May, an airstrike hit Jabalya Camp, reportedly damaging 35 families’ tents and tarpaulins and displacing dozens of them. Data by the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Gaza indicates that between 12 and 20 May, 24 Palestinians were killed, five bodies were retrieved, two died of wounds, and 159 people were injured. This brings the overall reported casualty toll since the announcement of a ceasefire agreement on 10 October 2025 to 881 fatalities and 2,621 injuries, according to MoH. Severe shortages of engine oil continue to disrupt critical water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services across the Gaza Strip. The WASH Cluster estimates that approximately 7,000 litres are required every month and life‑saving activities are increasingly curtailed. Key infrastructure is already affected, as demonstrated by the shutdown of the Sheikh Radwan stormwater lagoon in Gaza city on 11 May to preserve generator lifespan after prolonged operation. Water and wastewater levels have since risen significantly, raising the risk of flooding in the coming weeks and posing serious public health threats, according to the WASH Cluster. At the same time, solid waste management continues to rely on temporary dump sites located near active displacement sites. Humanitarian partners report that displaced families are increasingly affected by skin infections and other illnesses, as rats and insects enter shelters and contaminate food. While efforts are ongoing to improve sanitation and pest control, more sustainable responses require restored access to Gaza’s sanitary landfills near the perimeter, where Israeli forces remain deployed, as well as the entry of debris removal machinery and other critical supplies such as trucks, compactors, loaders, containers or personal protective equipment. To address pest infestations, WASH Cluster partners and local organizations, in coordination with the United Nation’s Development Programme (UNDP), have launched a response plan targeting over 1,700 locations across the Gaza Strip on 17 May. It involves spraying, rodent control, and awareness raising activities. The supplies for the campaign – 3 tonnes of rodenticides and 3,000 litres of pesticides – were brought into Gaza last week by UNDP. Partners indicate that a full response to rodents and pests requires the Israeli authorities to facilitate access to Gaza’s landfills where waste can be safely disposed of and approve requests to bring into Gaza items necessary for the removal of debris and the clearance of explosive ordnance – as well as inputs necessary to keep that equipment running. According to the Site Management Cluster (SMC), some 1,600 displacement sites across Gaza are currently hosting about 1.7 million people, or 354,480 households. This is based on non-exhaustive data collected through in-person visits or – in some cases – phone interviews, between 3 February and 10 May. Nearly 88 per cent them reside in makeshift sites, while others are accommodated in collective centres or scattered locations. Population movements over the preceding month indicate largely localized displacement patterns, with most sites reporting no significant change, though some continue to experience inflows and outflows. Incoming Supplies Kerem Shalom and Zikim remain the only operational entry points for humanitarian and commercial goods into Gaza. Between 11 and 17 May, offloading rates were 81 per cent across all corridors, with every other truck from Egypt still unable to offload at the Israeli crossings along Gaza’s perimeter, based on data tracked by the Logistics Cluster; this does not include bilateral humanitarian donations or the private sector. On the commercial front, according to the Chamber of Commerce and other humanitarian partner market assessments, prices remained elevated but generally stable with fresh products continue to show the greatest volatility. The Cash Working Group (CWG) continues to advocate for an increased number of commercial trucks entering Gaza to support market recovery, a reduction in fees applied to essential commodities, and a more appropriate balance between essential and non‑essential items being imported to better meet priority needs and stabilize markets. Between 7 and 20 May, the United Nation Office for Project Services (UNOPS) took into Gaza more than 2.1 million litres of diesel petrol into Gaza and distributed just over 2 million litres of diesel (including from stocks brought in before that period) in support of humanitarian operations. The UN is only able to confirm the entry of supplies tracked by UN 2720. For breakdowns of those, see the online UN 2720 Mechanism Dashboard. For a detailed account of the latest humanitarian operations in Gaza, see Annex 1 below. Funding Annexes Annex 1: Humanitarian Operations in the Gaza Strip by Cluster Read more This section covers 11 to 17 May unless otherwise specified. Food Security As of 18 May, partners provided general food assistance to 122,000 households (440,000 people) as part of the May monthly distribution. Each family receiving two parcels, one 25-kilogram flour bag and 2.5 kilograms of high energy biscuits, covering 75 per cent of the minimum caloric needs – the same as in April. Additional caloric needs are still covered through other modalities. As of 13 May, partners continued preparing and serving about 1 million meals every day through 103 kitchens and to almost 1,800 different locations. While these efforts remain critical, partners have scaled down cooked meal production due to funding constraints and rising operational costs. As the same time, responders are seeking to diversify assistance modalities, to include more cash and livelihood support. Humanitarian partners continue to support bread production through subsidized bakeries, community ovens, and partners’ own baking facilities, producing at least 300 metric tons of bread daily – about 36 per cent of the Strip’s estimated bread needs. More than 35 commercial bakeries are involved in these efforts, alongside flour distributions by partners and bilateral government actors to help families bake bread at home. As of 17 May, 28 subsidized bakeries were producing approximately 130,000 two-kilogram bread bundles per day, with about 80 per cent sold at a subsidized price of 3 NIS (US$0.85) through 168 contracted retailers and the remaining 20 per cent distributed free of charge to over 300 shelters and community sites. Meanwhile, under the “diesel-only” model, five private bakeries supported with free fuel by humanitarian partners resumed operations late April and have gradually increased production, despite ongoing challenges related to high fuel, spare parts, and engine oil costs. A few examples of what is still needed: Scaling up home gardening requires strengthened technical support, including real-time advisory channels, the use of organic compost, seed-saving practices, and the provision of seedlings to improve germination rates. Proper site assessments are also essential to ensure feasibility, taking into account water and soil quality, available space, and safe access for households. At a broader level, restoring local food production depends on the timely and unrestricted entry of agricultural inputs through commercial and humanitarian channels, alongside enabling local importers to directly source and import the materials needed to restart and sustain production at scale. Water, Health and Sanitation (WASH) Fifty-four partners provide approximately 24,000 cubic metres of water per day to people in more than 2,000 locations, as 74 per cent or all households in Gaza rely on such deliveries. Between 4 and 17 May, UNICEF distributed 15,343 hygiene kits, 2,448 dignity kits, and 7,350 jerry cans benefitting almost 116,000 people. A few examples of what is still needed: Generator and vehicle spare parts and consumables – including engine oil, air filters, and tires – are urgently needed, alongside emergency repair kits for the Israeli Mekorot and UAE water pipelines as well as water pipes of various sizes. Additional priorities include reverse osmosis units, spare parts and accessories for existing systems, and solid waste compactors, as well as access to landfills near Gaza’s perimeter to ease pressure on temporary dump sites in southern Gaza. Health Between 11-17 May, partners supported the medical evacuation of 59 patients, including six children, to Egypt via Rafah Crossing, alongside 87 caregivers. Partners provided medical consultations, with reportable diseases accounting for 21.4 per cent of the consultations across 181 reporting sites. Increasing trends were observed in skin diseases, acute watery diarrhea, and bloody diarrhea, while acute respiratory infections declined, likely reflecting seasonal variation. Environmental surveillance results for March and April 2026 confirmed all samples negative for Poliovirus, marking 12 consecutive months without detection; in line with WHO guidance, the outbreak may be considered over pending Poliovirus Outbreak Response Assessment (OBRA) desk review. A risk assessment for rodent-associated diseases remains ongoing. Partners completed a training on infection prevention and control (IPC) and isolation protocols for over 400 clinical staff across five major hospitals, as well as more than 100 environmental cleaners and emergency medical services personnel. A few examples of what is still needed: Water testing equipment and liquid chlorine supplies are lacking in hospitals, primary health-care centres, and medical points because of administrative impediments from Israeli authorities. For more information, see the online Heath Cluster Dashboard. Shelter Between 11 and 17 May, partners provided 14,429 households with shelter and non-food assistance through in-kind and cash-based modalities. Assistance included 14,936 bedding items, 3,173 bedding kits, 2,922 tarpaulins, 1,114 sealing-off kits, and 839 clothing kits. The Rapid Joint Distribution Mechanism supported 55 households with emergency shelter and essential household items, including 10 packages of tents and non-food items and 45 sealing-off kits. Partners installed 115 emergency shelters in Gaza and Khan Younis using Shelter Cluster Emergency Shelter Kit designs and specifications. A few examples of what is still needed: More essential household items are needed, as available stocks are merely enough to support fewer than 3,400 additional households. Administrative impediments imposed by Israeli authorities should be lifted along with restrictions on shelter items. For more information, see the Shelter Cluster website. Protection Between 11 and 17 May, 11 protection partners delivered lifesaving and protection-related services to almost 11,000 people: Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), including psychological first aid and individual and group counselling, was provided to 8,259 people; Legal aid and legal awareness support was provided to 219 people; Referrals and case follow-up were provided to 232 people; Other support was provided to 341 persons with disabilities; Group psychosocial support sessions were provided to 350 people; Mine action and explosive ordnance risk education were provided to 168 people; Relief was distributed to 1,265 people; Staff-care activities were conducted for 25 responders. During the same period, partners offered services to 146 returnees from Egypt; since the reopening of the Rafah border and as of 14 May, 2,429 returnees have been assisted, including 885 currently receiving follow-up protection services. Protection monitoring activities continued through eight focus group discussions and 130 key informant interviews across 16 neighbourhoods, reaching 1,155 people. A few examples of what is still needed: It is critical to address the psychological distress affecting staff members, alongside persistent fuel shortages, rising transportation costs, cash flow constraints, and the limited availability of essential materials and spare parts. For more information, see the online Protection Cluster dashboard. Child Protection Between 11 and 17 May, partners: provided MHPSS services to over 4,000 children and approximately 1,500 caregivers. Services included structured psychosocial support sessions, recreational and resilience-building activities, art and drama interventions, individual counselling, Psychological First Aid, parenting support, and community-based psychosocial programmes. conducted child protection awareness and community-based protection activities for another 4,700 children and caregivers through awareness sessions, risk mitigation activities, positive parenting sessions, safety mapping exercises, and community outreach across shelters, camps, schools, and displacement sites; provided individual case management support to 56 newly identified high-risk children, while continuing follow-up for more than 3,000 active child protection cases involving children without parental care, highly distressed children, and children exposed to violence, neglect, exploitation, family separation, and unsafe living conditions. conducted 135 follow-up contacts for unaccompanied and separated children to assess wellbeing, care arrangements, and protection concerns; A few examples of what is still needed: Additional funding and operational support are needed to sustain high-risk child protection case management, MHPSS services, outreach activities, and child-friendly spaces, many of which face disruptions. Partners also require increased fuel, transportation, and operational supplies to maintain home visits, referrals, and follow-up activities, particularly in underserved and newly displaced areas. Additional trained case workers, MHPSS specialists, accessible safe spaces, and psychosocial materials are also needed to respond to growing protection concerns among children and adolescents across Gaza. Mine Action UNMAS conducted 36 explosive hazard assessments in support of debris removal and other partner activities, and three inter-agency missions. Partners conducted explosive ordnance risk education activities, reaching almost 3,480 people between 10 and 14 May. Since the October 2025 ceasefire announcement, 109 accidents have been recorded, leading to 265 Palestinians injured and 49 killed. Emergency Telecommunications Between 11 and 17 May, ETC continued close collaboration with UNDSS on the Communications Plan, providing final technical inputs with completion expected by 31 May. Coordination also continued with PRCS and ICRC to support technical recovery of the damaged VHF network in Gaza, building on earlier VHF coverage assessments conducted along the Gaza city–Zikim route. A few examples of what is still needed: Despite progress, connectivity in Gaza remains severely constrained, limiting humanitarian coordination. The VHF network remains only partially functional due to security constraints and limited technical capacity.
Country: Mozambique Sources: CCCM Cluster, International Organization for Migration Please refer to the attached file. Escalating attacks and fear of violence in Ancuabe District, particularly in Namacuili village, have triggered new waves of displacement into Chiure District. Newly displaced families have settled across multiple locations, including Maningane 1 and 2, Chiote, and Megaruma relocation sites. Based on preliminary data, a total of 581 households (2,066 individuals) have been identied across the sites. Of these, Maningane 2 hosts 523 households (1,877 individuals), Maningane 1 with 34 households (127 individuals), Chiote with 12 households (25 individuals), and Megaruma with 6 households (37 individuals), where data collection and registration are still ongoing. In response, IOM CCCM, in close coordination with the Chiure District Government (SDPI), Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) and other humanitarian partners, is supporting a coordinated emergency response. Operational presence is focused on facilitating assistance and strengthening site-level coordination mechanisms. CCCM interventions include community engagement sessions, information sharing, activation of the Complaints and Feedback Mechanism (CFM), and household-level verication and registration in collaboration with DTM, to ensure inclusive and accountable response delivery, including referrals for vulnerable cases. Priority needs remain acute and multisectoral. The most urgent gaps include emergency shelter support, immediate food assistance, as no distributions have taken place since arrival; and construction of additional communal latrines, given that existing sanitation facilities are insufficient to meet current demand. Additional needs include basic non-food items (NFIs) and expanded protection and health services. The security situation in areas of origin remains volatile and unpredictable, with displaced populations expressing reluctance to return due to ongoing insecurity. Overall, the situation underscores the urgent need to strengthen CCCM coordination structures, scale up life-saving assistance, and ensure a comprehensive multi-sectoral response to address the immediate and evolving needs of affected populations. Humanitarian partners will continue to monitor the situation closely and coordinate with local authorities to enhance response efforts.
Country: Sudan Source: UN Children's Fund Please refer to the attached file. Highlights Health services remained a critical lifeline, with over 130,000 women and children accessing primary healthcare services across conflict‑affected areas in March, despite insecurity and access constraints, alongside targeted mobile and integrated outreach in hard‑to‑reach locations to respond to ongoing cholera, measles, dengue and malaria risks. Nutrition needs continued to surge, with 24,500 children admitted for severe acute malnutrition treatment in March and over 825,000 children screened, reflecting expanded outreach and early detection efforts in high‑priority, famine‑risk localities. WASH interventions reached over 650,000 people with access to safe drinking water, helping reduce outbreak risks in overcrowded displacement settings through chlorination activities and rehabilitation of water systems, alongside continued sanitation and hygiene promotion in hotspot areas. Despite these efforts, the 2026 HAC appeal remains critically underfunded, with only 16 per cent of requirements met, severely constraining the scale‑up and continuity of life‑saving services and leaving millions of children at heightened risk. [...] SITUATION OVERVIEW AND HUMANITARIAN NEEDS Sudan continues to face severe humanitarian challenges driven by protracted conflict, shifting frontlines, mass displacement, and recurrent disease outbreaks. As control lines continue to shift across the country’s 18 states, the dynamics of the operating environment remain volatile, with humanitarian needs intensifying in conflict‑affected areas, displacement‑hosting locations, and returnee areas. While the overall internal displacement has decreased to approximately nine million people5 , largely due to voluntary returns, there is persistent and active conflict that continues to displace people in Darfur and Kordofans. Children remain disproportionately affected, accounting for 55 per cent of all internally displaced persons. At the same time, return movements have accelerated, with 3.8 million documented returnees6 , majority (84 per cent) returning from within Sudan and 16 per cent from abroad. Despite the overall reduction in the overall magnitude of displacement, recent hostilities continue to trigger new and localized waves of movements, particularly in Kordofan, Darfur and Blue Nile, regions that have endured decades of protracted conflict. From late October 2025 to March 2026, more than 135,000 people7 were newly displaced across the Kordofan states, while over 13,000 people8 were displaced in Blue Nile State in March alone, primarily from Kurmuk and Geissan localities. With hostilities ongoing, further displacement is expected. Renewed fighting along key routes to Dilling and Kadugli has reintroduced significant access constraints, severely limiting humanitarian reach and the delivery of life-saving assistance to affected populations. Protection risks are escalating as the conflict becomes increasingly characterised by indiscriminate attacks and damage to civilian infrastructure. Shelling and drone strikes continue to result in civilian casualties and the destruction of essential services, including health and education facilities. Recent attacks on El Daein Teaching Hospital in East Darfur9 and on a secondary school and primary healthcare centre in Shukairi village10 , White Nile State, underscore the growing severity of violations against civilian infrastructure and the erosion of safe access to basic services. Food insecurity in Sudan constitutes one of the most severe nutrition crises globally. Recent Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Acute Food Insecurity (IPC-AFI) analyses estimate that over 60 percent of the population (24.6–28.9 million people) are experiencing acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3+), including more than 6 million in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) and over 750,000 in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) with famine conditions confirmed in Al Fasher (North Darfur) and Kadugli (South Kordofan). Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) highlights persistent risk of famine in greater Darfur and Kordofan, particularly in areas experiencing siege-like conditions. An estimated 3.6 million children under five11 are projected to be acutely malnourished in 2026, driven by protracted conflict, displacement, limited access 2 to humanitarian services, and the risk of famine in the most affected areas. The Federal Ministry of Health has declared the end of the cholera outbreak following six consecutive weeks without reported cases—an important milestone. However, public health risks remain high, with multiple disease outbreaks—including measles, diphtheria, dengue, hepatitis E and malaria—continuing to circulate widely. These risks are further exacerbated by overcrowding, poor water and sanitation conditions, and limited access to healthcare, particularly in displacement settings.
Country: Afghanistan Source: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Please refer to the attached file. Description of the Event Date of event 30-03-2026 What happened, where and when? The flash flooding event began on 26 March 2026, when heavy and sustained rainfall struck multiple regions of Afghanistan, coinciding with the spring thaw and snowmelt from mountainous catchments. The DREF was triggered on 30 March 2026 based on ARCS field reports of a sharp rise in affected families, ARCS's formal request for international support, and meteorological forecasts confirming that continued rainfall and snowmelt would further compound flood risks. The initial allocation under MDRAF021 was released against 2,634 affected families (18,438 people). Rainfall did not stabilize after activation. Successive precipitation episodes through early and mid-April produced repeated waves of flash flooding, progressively extending the disaster's footprint. On 14 April 2026, ARCS field assessments recorded 11,067 households (approximately 77,462 people) affected, a substantial increase from the initial caseload, and on 24 April, ARCS shared the consolidated field report on the IFRC GO platform and requested the support to upscale the operation, which was considered the trigger date for the second allocation request. OCHA's Flash Update #3 (17–26 April 2026) reports a lower figure of 73,300 people initially identified as affected and 56,900 confirmed in need, with joint inter-agency assessments still ongoing in 34 districts. The variance between ARCS and OCHA figures reflects differences in methodology and coverage rather than contradiction: ARCS data is drawn from its 34 provincial branch network with direct community level access, including areas not yet reached by inter-agency missions, while OCHA figures are based on verified joint assessments completed at the time of reporting and exclude districts where assessments remain in progress. ARCS figures are therefore used as the operational planning basis for this second allocation, with OCHA data referenced for inter-agency corroboration of the overall trajectory. FEWS NET's April–September 2026 Outlook similarly confirms flash flooding countrywide, affecting nearly 74,000 people through destruction of homes, infrastructure, and agricultural land.
Country: Yemen Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Please refer to the attached files. Overview: May 2026 is expected to conclude with steadily declining rainfall and elevated temperatures, particularly across desert and coastal areas. Key Concerns: Decreasing rainfall and flood recession: During the last dekad of May 2026, rainfall is expected to decline gradually to very low levels, with only occasional residual showers over the central highlands, particularly in Dhamar and Ibb governorates. Bi-weekly forecasts from the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) indicate a moderate (40%) probability of below-average rainfall along the western slopes of the highlands. Soaring temperatures: Above-average temperatures are forecast across most governorates during the third dekad of May 2026, with the strongest anomalies over the coastal plains—including Tihama, Aden, and the Hadhramaut coast—and inland desert areas such as Al Jawf, Marib, and the Hadhramaut interior, increasing the likelihood of heatwaves (Fig. 1). Maximum temperatures are expected to reach 35–42°C in coastal and desert areas, while the central highlands—including Sana’a, Dhamar, Ibb, and Taizz governorates —are likely to see temperatures of 25–31°C. Implications on Agricultural Livelihoods Rainfed agriculture: Conditions are likely to remain generally favorable for early-stage sorghum and millet, though localized rainfall variability may delay planting and other field activities in some areas. Irrigated agriculture: Higher temperatures and increased evapotranspiration are expected to raise irrigation demand, with heightened water-stress risks in already water-scarce basins. Livestock and pastoral systems: Heat-stress risk is expected to increase in desert rangelands, coastal areas, and lowlands. Meanwhile, pasture conditions may improve slightly in parts of the central highlands following convective rainfall. Adaptation and Coping Strategies: The following are key measures that FAO and partners can take to mitigate the expected meteorological impacts during the last dekad of May 2026: Early Warning Systems: Strengthen coordination among meteorological, agricultural, and disaster-management institutions to issue regular agrometeorological advisories at governorate and district levels. Promote the use of localized weather and seasonal forecasts to inform planting decisions, irrigation scheduling, and livestock mobility planning. Crop farming Promote drought- and heat-tolerant varieties, particularly for sorghum, millet, legumes, and vegetables. Scale up soil conservation and agroforestry practices to reduce erosion and improve resilience to heavy rainfall and heat stress. Encourage crop and livelihood diversification to reduce reliance on a single season or commodity. Livestock management Ensure adequate livestock water supply through water storage, rehabilitation of water points, and targeted water trucking where needed. Reduce heat stress by providing shade and limiting livestock movement during peak daytime temperatures. Support fodder reserves and supplementary feeding in anticipation of pasture deterioration in lowland and drought-prone areas.
