More than 3,700 families in Kahinda and Kanunu towns, Tanganyika Province, require emergency assistance. The majority of them are formerly internally displaced persons who returned to their homes in 2020, after they had fled the towns of Nyunzu and Kolongi in Tanganyika in 2017 in the wake of community violence perpetrated by non-state armed groups. Estimated at more than 14,000 people, they represent 30 per cent of the total population, adding pressure to the already insufficient basic social services in Kahinda and Kanunu. Currently, their most urgent needs are water, sanitation, health, food, and essential household items. The few existing schools lack latrines and facilities, and health centres lack maternity wards.
