All told, the violence has left approximately 4.3 million people in need of humanitarian aid in eight of Cameroon’s 10 regions including the Far North, East, North West, and South West regions.</p><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">Since 2016, the country’s North West and South West regions have experienced high levels of insecurity and armed violence caused by outbreaks between the area’s separatist militias and the country’s defense and security forces. As a result, over 530,806 people — around two-thirds of them women — have been forced to flee their homes leaving 1.3 million people in need of humanitarian aid.</p><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">Escalating tensions have led to a socio-economic crisis as people continue to search for safety and rebuild their lives.</p></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border-wrapper"><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border rpla-toggle-2__border--bottom"></div></div></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2 rpla-toggle-2--body rpla-toggle-2--plus-separators" data-rpl-toggle-2-state="collapsed" data-rpl-state-target><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border-wrapper"><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border rpla-toggle-2__border--top"></div></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2__text-wrapper" data-rpl-state-type="toggle-2-state" data-rpl-state-values="expanded, collapsed"><button class="rpla-toggle-2__caret" role="button" tabindex="0"></button><div class="rpla-toggle-2__text">What are the main humanitarian challenges in Cameroon?</div></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2__content" data-rpl-toggle-2-content><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">In Cameroon, people affected by crisis are urgently in need of food, shelter, protection, water, and health care. Local communities have opened their doors to those displaced, but they often have little to share.</p><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">Nearly 3 million people need food aid. Before the crisis, 70 percent of the population of the North West depended on agriculture. Insecurity is now causing farmers to abandon their farmlands, which has led to a drop in production and an increase in the price of staples.</p><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">Drinking water supply in terms of quantity and quality remains precarious. More than 1.8 million people need access to safe drinking water supplies and basic sanitation. Water points in places where refugees and displaced people reside are often broken, and latrines are scarce. Overcrowded conditions without clean water or a proper waste management system expose people to diseases such as cholera and malaria.</p><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">Approximately 1.5 million people need health assistance in crisis affected regions. Health centers are unprepared and short on qualified personnel and medical supplies and equipment needed to treat the most vulnerable. In the South West region, about 24 percent of health facilities have closed due to the crisis.</p><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">Protection needs persist as civilians—especially women and girls—face many human rights violations including killings, abduction and arbitrary arrests. Lack of identification documents significantly increases protection problems faced by displaced people.</p><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">Women remain most vulnerable to exploitation and disease. Many don’t have menstrual hygiene materials because they are unable to pay for them, find them or are too afraid to move to get them. There’s also a scarcity in health services, including midwives and gynecologists, available for pregnant women.</p><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">About 80 percent of girls and boys in preschool, elementary, and secondary schools in the North West and South West regions do not have access to continuous schooling due to the crisis. As of 2015, 120 schools closed due to violence and insecurity, forcing over 33,000 students to either drop out or attend school in another community.</p></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border-wrapper"><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border rpla-toggle-2__border--bottom"></div></div></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2 rpla-toggle-2--body rpla-toggle-2--plus-separators" data-rpl-toggle-2-state="collapsed" data-rpl-state-target><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border-wrapper"><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border rpla-toggle-2__border--top"></div></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2__text-wrapper" data-rpl-state-type="toggle-2-state" data-rpl-state-values="expanded, collapsed"><button class="rpla-toggle-2__caret" role="button" tabindex="0"></button><div class="rpla-toggle-2__text">How does the IRC help in Cameroon?</div></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2__content" data-rpl-toggle-2-content><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">The IRC’s mission is to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover and gain control of their future.</p><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">We are focusing our efforts in the Far North and South West regions by:</p><ul class="rpla-unordered-list rpla-unordered-list--body"><li class="rpla-unordered-list__item">providing clean water and improving sanitation facilities such as water pumps, latrines and showers, and waste disposal pits in communities hosting large numbers of displaced people;</li><li class="rpla-unordered-list__item">distributing basic supplies such as water containers, cooking utensils and blankets to displaced families;</li><li class="rpla-unordered-list__item">distributing dignity kits with items such as sanitary napkins, bathing soap, toothpaste and toothbrush, menstrual pads, and underwear to reduce violence against women and girls</li><li class="rpla-unordered-list__item">running safe spaces for women and girls where they can seek counseling, participate in recreational activities and receive other services;</li><li class="rpla-unordered-list__item">helping individuals obtain identification documents and referring them to other legal services;</li><li class="rpla-unordered-list__item">establishing lifesaving referral pathways for survivors of sexual assault to ensure they receive safe and appropriate clinical care;</li><li class="rpla-unordered-list__item">engaging community members to work on reducing protection risks through community-based programs and responding to human rights violations;</li><li class="rpla-unordered-list__item">providing cash assistance via mobile or voucher modalities for the most vulnerable to help them meet their basic needs;</li><li class="rpla-unordered-list__item">providing business grants and vocational training opportunities for youth, women, and girls in communities affected by crisis.</li></ul><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body"> </p></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border-wrapper"><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border rpla-toggle-2__border--bottom"></div></div></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2 rpla-toggle-2--body rpla-toggle-2--plus-separators" data-rpl-toggle-2-state="collapsed" data-rpl-state-target><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border-wrapper"><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border rpla-toggle-2__border--top"></div></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2__text-wrapper" data-rpl-state-type="toggle-2-state" data-rpl-state-values="expanded, collapsed"><button class="rpla-toggle-2__caret" role="button" tabindex="0"></button><div class="rpla-toggle-2__text">What still needs to be done?</div></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2__content" data-rpl-toggle-2-content><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">The IRC’s work in Cameroon is more critical than ever as violence continues to force people from their homes.
