WFP Insecurity in the Lake Chad Basin - Regional Impact - Situation Report #11, 11 January 2016

Highlights

  • Due to ongoing extreme violence and continued displacements the food security situation in the Lake Chad region remains critical. The latest estimates indicate that across the Lake Chad region, a total of 5.6 million people are moderately or severely food insecure due to the ongoing insecurity and massive displacements into the border areas of Chad, Niger and Cameroon.
  • Against this backdrop WFP’s operations in the region continue through 2016, and operational response across the affected countries will be adapted to recent assessment findings and pressing needs in the respective countries.
  • A Pop Up Hub has been established in N’Djamena, Chad, for operational surge support and coordination.
