About 700 people have fled their homes following armed clashes in Mann, in the northwestern axis, in Ouaham-Pende PrefecturBocarangae. The most urgent needs of the newly displaced include protection, food, shelter, health, and basic household items, as they have lost all personal belongings during recent repeated displacements. However, the security situation and access constraints in the Prefecture severely hamper assistance. Moreover, nearby Bocaranga town is saturated and has thus limited capacities to host additional internally displaced persons (IDPs), with about 4,700 already registered as of the end of September, including about 1,700 women and children who recently arrived from the Mann and Ndim axes, also in the northwest.
