USD 16.4 million six-month funding shortfall for refugee assistance
240,000 refugees and asylum seekers in camps supported with food assistance
Operational Updates
Support to refugee communities: WFP reduced rations to 68 percent of the minimum required Kcal. This is the third significant ration reduction in 2020 and comes at the height of the lean season, risking deterioration in the health of this population. If no additional funding is forthcoming, WFP will have to further reduce rations. A Joint Assessment Mission took place in November 2020, and included the Ministry of Home Affairs, UNHCR, WFP,
UNICEF, NGO partners and donors. The aim was to assess aspects of refugee assistance including nutrition, health and protection. Voluntary repatriation increased from 4,216 in October to 5,373 in November.
