HUMANITARIAN SITUATION
1.2 million people including 629,000 women and 594,000 men benefited from humanitarian assistance in at least one sector between January and June 2024, representing 58 per cent of the overall Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) target.
The operating context over this period is characterized by a relative increase in conflict related shocks (72 per cent of all shocks compared to 65 per cent over the same period in 2023), and a 27 per cent drop in the return flows of internally displaced persons, reflecting the existence of insecurity hotspots despite the relative improvement of the security situation in some areas, thus becoming favorable to returns.
As of 1 July, US$ 141.1 million were received for the HRP (38.2 per cent of the required US$ 357.7 million), a 43.3 per cent decrease in funding mobilized over the same period in 2023, despite the efforts of several donors. For the first six months of the response, health sector was the most funded (US$ 24.5 million), and four sectors (nutrition, mine action, water, hygiene and sanitation, and food security) received less than 30 per cent of required funds.
