Dear Colleagues,

The conflict in Rakhine State started in June 2012 and resurged in October 2012 resulting in significant displacement. As of the beginning of April 2013, the number of people displaced in Rakhine State is at least 139,107. Approximately 111,000 IDPs are residing in Government designated camps while the rest are living in tents or with host families.

Faits saillants

• L’épidémie de choléra a fait sa réapparition au Mali. 21 cas ont été notifiés dans la région de Gao depuis le 8 mai.

• Le nombre des personnes en besoin d'assistance alimentaire immédiate est maintenant estimé à environ 1,4 million et celui des personnes à risque à environ 2,1 millions.

• Les personnes déplacées internes (PDI) sont estimées à 301 0271 par la commission Mouvement de Population au 21 mai tandis que les réfugiés Maliens dans les pays limitrophes étaient au nombre de 174 129 au 20 mai.

Humanitarian overview

• Drivers and features of the humanitarian situation: Recurrent droughts, flash floods and protracted displacement are the humanitarian issues of concern in Somaliland, which declared its independence in 1991. It has remained relatively stable, but a border dispute with neighbouring Puntland over areas in the regions of Sanaag and Sool has been a flash point and has hampered humanitarian access to the area.
