KEY MESSAGES
• Findings suggest pervasive food insecurity in Wajid - which may be due to a decline in incomes caused by low crop yields coupled with limited market access.
• On-site healthcare was seldom reported - with KIs in 55% of all assessed settlements reporting that most people in the community sought healthcare outside of their settlement, and KIs in 29% of settlements reporting that most people in the community did not seek healthcare at all.
• There were high protection concerns regarding women and girls in-district in three quarters of the assessed settlements, especially threats of violence.
• Displacement was occurring, yet some residents wanted to move and could not do so in Wajid. Elderly people were reportedly among the most likely to remain, yet also among the most likely to face barriers to information or humanitarian assistance.
