Pre-registration by UNHCR and Government is ongoing in Chad. So far, 26 out of 35 sites have been surveyed and 27,243 refugees have been pre-registered. Though the security situation is now calmer in Far North Cameroon, humanitarian access to internally displaced persons remains limited. All people affected by this crisis have urgent unmet needs for shelter, core relief items and protection. It is early to predict the evolution of the situation. The Level 2 emergency declaration in Chad and Level 1 emergency in Cameroon will help structure both the emergency and long-term response strategy.
