Operational Updates
• As part of crisis response, WFP provided unconditional inkind food assistance to 240,650 acutely food-insecure people, including 16,680 refugees. Beneficiaries in Emergency (CH Phase 4) received full rations, while those in Crisis (CH Phase 3) received only half rations due to resource constraints.
• Access constraints continued to hinder the delivery of assistance to hard-to-reach areas. In response, WFP airlifted 719 metric tons (mt) of emergency food and nutrition assistance using heavy-lift helicopters to eight localities, providing a lifeline for 64,620 acutely food-insecure people. This included 3,080 children aged 6-23 months and 1,575 pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls (PBW/G), who received specialized nutritious foods to prevent malnutrition. Previously accessible only via airlifts due to an ongoing blockade, Titao was successfully reached by land for the second time, resulting in additional cost savings. As a last resort, WFP also joined government-organized supply convoys to Tougouri, Yalgo, Dori, and Gayeri, enabling the delivery of 480 mt of food and nutrition commodities.
• WFP distributed specialized nutritious foods to prevent malnutrition, reaching 7,660 children aged 6-23 months (51 percent girls) and 5,315 PBW/G.
• Nutrition messaging from WFP reached 28,100 people (68 percent women), raising awareness on good nutrition, hygiene, and optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. WFP's social and behaviour change communication sessions reached 2,480 participants through 13 newly established mother support groups in the Ouahigouya health district, contributing to malnutrition prevention.
• To manage moderate acute malnutrition, WFP provided specialized nutritious foods to 37,775 children aged 6-59 months (50 percent girls), and 21,535 PBW/G. In addition, 7,890 children aged 6-59 months were screened for malnutrition, resulting in the detection of 153 cases of moderate and 11 cases of severe acute malnutrition.
