A Burkinés of every five, that is, 4.7 million people, need humanitarian aid, and around a person in ten, that is, 1.9 million people, have moved in the interior of the country (figures at 31 of December 2022). There are currently more than two million displaced.
In addition, now in August, we are in the period known as Soudure. A moment when food begins to scarce until the harvest that is made in October. They are two hard months that, for many families, are synonymous with not being able to access food. The food security cluster of the Ocha (United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) warns that, even with government aid and large NGOs, about two million people will not be able to receive food assistance.
