On January 14, 2023, a fire broke out in Menegue Village, causing damage to 59 households and 29 stores. The affected households include 413 directly affected people with partially or completely burned houses, and 1,652 indirectly affected people who lost income sources. Children, lactating women, pregnant women, elderly people, and those with disabilities are among the homeless people. Host families (236 households) are currently supporting affected households but are expected to become vulnerable themselves. An immediate support is needed to address the risk of hunger and other health issues faced by the affected households.
