• De sérieuses inquiétudes sur l’insécurité alimentaire sont renouvelées dans plusieurs régions du pays

The Global Overview collates information from a range of sources and displays it in a manner that allows for quick comparison of different humanitarian crises.

HIGHLIGHTS

• A 7.8 earthquake hit South-Eastern Iran on 16 April, close to the border with Pakistan. The impact was felt in both countries, with 14 people killed, 73 injured and two missing.

• New and worsening humanitarian crises since 2011 have led to a considerable increase in CERF allocations to the MENA region. The largest recipients have been Pakistan, Syria and Yemen.

These include 1.5 million affected by last year's floods, over 1 million displaced due to insecurity, 1. 64 million Afghan refugees, and 1.3 million returnees.

Earthquake preparedness in Nepal took a step forward this week with the allocation of support roles to sites earmarked for humanitarian use around the capital, Kathmandu.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) and IOM elaborated the list during a two-day workshop.
