The humanitarian situation is concerning. As of 31 March 2023, according to the National Council for Emergency Relief and Rehabilitation (CONASUR), 2,062,534 persons are internally displaced, over 3% increase in one month only.
Additionally, as of the same date, the country is hosting 36,265 refugees and asylum seekers, according to UNHCR.
In response to this humanitarian crisis, UNHCR is providing protection and assistance to forcibly displaced and stateless persons, including the provision of emergency shelter, civil documentation, and other basic needs. However, UNHCR faces challenges in accessing affected populations due to ongoing insecurity and limited resources.
The Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2023 was released on 30 March 2023. With a budget of USD 877 million, it aims to assist 3.1 million people in acute and urgent need. The humanitarian needs addressed in the plan range from urgent lifesaving assistance, to protection, support for improved access to basic social services, resilience, post-crisis recovery, as well as durable solutions.
