Since August 2022, floods have affected more than 310,000 people in the Far North region. In the most affected Logone et Chari division, rising waters have forced nearly 110,000 people to flee in displacement sites in neighbouring localities. Thanks to donor funding, humanitarian partners started food assistance to flood-displaced people in the division. Nearly 18,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Kousseri have received a one month food ration, with the next ration scheduled for January. However, only three out of 13 sites were covered by this assistance. Important needs in food, shelter, health, water and sanitation, non-food items are still to be covered. The rainy season being over and the water level beginning to drop, the return of the IDPs to their localities is expected. Humanitarian and development actors as well as local authorities are working together to help these people return to a decent life.
