In #Burundi 🇧🇮, returnees from Tanzania, Rwanda, DRC Congo, Uganda and other countries most often faced challenges around finding housing & accessing food & water. Even 6 months or more after their #return, primary needs remain basic necessities & housing.

In #Somalia & #Ethiopia our respondents reported a lack of international assistance prior to their displacement, which was linked to their reasons for departure from origin communities.

👪 Child-sensitive & child-targeted interventions are needed as part of the drought response in Ethiopia & Somalia, such as educational interventions & considerations around how
to support the educational mobility of youth on the move affected by #climate https://t.co/DeJdNSX4Mb

#Sudan's conflict will likely continue beyond 2023 📈 Displacement figures have grown exponentially 🇸🇩 Many Sudanese will continue to be involuntarily immobile ➡️ High humanitarian needs 🌍 High risks for refugees and migrants
