States continues to adjust their response strategies to socioeconomic realities with a gradual relaxing or complete lifting of movement restrictions introduced to curb the spread of the virus. In a region grappling with armed conflict, pervasive poverty and a food insecurity, it is crucial that the focus on Covid-19 does not cause these pre-existing crises to be neglected.
