The humanitarian and security crisis in Mali continues to displace Malians into Mauritania, particularly into the south-eastern border region of Hodh Chargui, where Mbera refugee camp is located. This influx is exacerbating the strain on services and natural resources in a region with high levels of multi-dimensional poverty (approx. 78%) and acutely vulnerable to climate-related shocks. As the camp is saturated, the majority of new arrivals are choosing to settle in neighboring villages, requiring UNHCR to adapt its response both to needs within the camp and out of the camp.
