P007396001: February 2019 – From new violence in peaceful areas of the country, such as Ituri province, to multiple Ebola outbreaks, and the forced return of hundreds of thousands of Congolese refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), 2018 has pushed the limits of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)'s humanitarian assistance.

March 2018 – Ethiopia hosts the second largest number of refugees in Africa, nearly one million people. Approximatelyy 40% of these are from South Sudan and now live in the remote Gambella region of western Ethiopia. Although safe from the conflict and insecurity that forced them to flee, many refugees are still suffering from their effects, including acute malnutrition and trauma related to violence. With limited local options for self-sustainability and little chance of returning home in the near future, most refugee households remain reliant on ongoing international assistance to meet their
In 2019, drought and inter-communal conflict are expected to leave at least 8 million Ethiopians in need of humanitarian assistance, including nearly 2.9 million people displaced by violence and natural disasters. Populations of internally displaced persons (IDPs) are amongst the most vulnerable in Ethiopia, living in nearly 1,200 informal settlements, often extremely remote and with almost no access to food or basic services. In addition, Ethiopia hosts more than 900,000 refugees reliant on humanitarian assistance to meet their basic needs. With GAC’s support, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) C
March 2020 - After a brief period of calm in 2016, the situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) started to deteriorate in 2017. This has continued through late 2019, where a resurgence of direct confrontations between armed actors was observed. This, combined with continued insecurity, led to suspensions of movements of humanitarian actors, impacting the humanitarian response. CAR is one of the most dangerous contexts in the world for humanitarian workers. The crisis in CAR is a protection crisis, with violence against civilians, particularly women and girls, and sexual and gender-based
March 2020 – Ongoing drought and population displacement caused by intercommunal conflict since late 2017 have left at least 8.4 million Ethiopians in need of humanitarian assistance, including emergency food rations, treatment for acute malnutrition and other healthcare services, and safe water and sanitation services.

March 2018 – Uganda hosts the largest number of refugees in Africa, more than 1.4 million, with roughly two thirds of them having arrived from South Sudan since July 2016.

New refugee settlements almost immediately reach full capacity, while service providers struggle to meet the most basic needs of the community. Overall, South Sudanese make up more than three quarters of the refugee population in Uganda (more than 1 million people). With GAC’s support, Doctors Without Borders Can

May 2018 - A new outbreak of the Ebola virus disease was declared in Equateur province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on May 8, 2018. Although it is too early to predict the trajectory of this outbreak, there are concerns regarding the containment and prevention of the virus as it has spread from three rural health zones to the provincial capital of Mbandaka, a large urban centre with national and international transportation routes, increasing the risk of it spreading further within the DRC and neighbouring countries. Based on lessons learned from the 2014 West Africa Ebola outbrea
