Around 1 million people remain in need of shelter and NFI support, a 60 per cent reduction since 2021. Among them, over 530,000 people are in acute need. The decrease in needs is primarily due to a narrower definition of humanitarian shelter needs, focusing on people living in critical shelter, including tents, unfinished and abandoned structures, make-shift shelter, and non-residential, public and religious building; and in sub-standard shelters that pose risks to the residents’ health, safety and dignity.

Based on the MCNA VIII and ILA V assessments run in July – August 2020, nearly 2.6 million individuals remain in need of shelter and NFI support, seven per cent higher than in 2019. Among them, one million individuals are in acute need. Months of lockdowns and movement restrictions to curb the COVID 19 pandemic have prevented partners from implementing their plans, deepening the socio-economic vulnerability of the displaced population with heavy consequences on rent affordability and resulting in premature returns to damaged shelters.
