Key Findings
- The assessed IDP camps face a critical public health crisis, with 85% of households reporting illness or healthcare needs and 58% of children reportedly ill, driven by high incidence of communicable diseases fever, cough, and diarrhoea along with poor healthcare service access, high medical and transportation costs and long waiting time.
- Acute malnutrition among children under five in the assessed IDP sites remains a critical public health concern, with a 19% GAM by WHZ based on the SMART survey done in Ad Du'ayn locality in April 2025, driven by high disease burden, poor preventive health services and child feeding practice, and recurrent stock-outs of therapeutic supplies.
- In the assessed IDP camps, over 50% of households face severe food insecurity according to the CARI, characterized by significant food consumption gaps, heavy reliance on food-based coping strategies, and use of crisis- and emergency level livelihood coping mechanisms, indicating near-complete depletion of household assets.
- The critical food insecurity situation, along with poor WASH, high disease burden, limited healthcare access, suboptimal child feeding practices, and high malnutrition rates, places population in camps in a situation of emergency.
