Cameroon – Social Unrest and Displacement of Population (DG ECHO, Media) (ECHO Daily Flash of 23 December 2017)

  • The Anglophone crisis in the West of Cameroon continues to deteriorate, triggering important movements of populations. It is considered that about 20 000 people are internally displaced due to this crisis.

  • Between 5 and 25% of children in the area are displaced and face difficulties to attend school.

  • Most basic social infrastructures are functional and accessible for now but should the situation further deteriorate, the capacity to respond to an emergency is limited.
