According to the Norwegian Refugee Council, violence has been forcing an average of 55,000 people a month to flee their homes since April, almost three times the average monthly figure between October 2020 and March 2021. An estimated 275,000 newly displaced people have been recorded since April, bringing the total number to more than 1.4 million IDPs, with displacements recorded in 274 communes out of 302. The government and humanitarian partners are mobilizing to increase humanitarian assistance to internally displaced persons and vulnerable host populations.
