Assessment Conclusion:
Overall, the assessment concludes an urgent need to respond to this humanitarian emergency since it is beyond the coping capacity of the affected people to withstand the impact of these unprecedented floods and will require extensive recovery and rehabilitation work in due course of time.
Short term and medium term needs should be prioritized in response.
The need for immediate relief is crucial and must be undertaken at a greater speed and scale.
