A combination of factors, including the 2011 drought, high food prices, low agricultural production, as well as the inability of affected households to recover from the 2010 food and nutrition crisis, exacerbated the Sahel region's vulnerability in 2012. As of 10 Dec 2012, the on-going conflict in Mali has resulted in at least 198,558 IDPs within Mali and approximately 156,819 Malian refugees in Burkina Faso, Niger and Mauritania. The influx of refugees into neighboring countries has already impacted access to basic services and, in addition to the existing food insecurity crisis, put more pressure on resources for host communities.
