HIGHLIGHTS
• WFP rapidly moved in to respond to the growing food and nutrition needs of communities affected by floods in the Logone et Chari and Mayo Danay divisions of the Far North Region.
• WFP’s rapid market assessment informed the use of a hybrid approach, delivering assistance in cash in areas with functional markets and in-kind with no markets.
• WFP assisted about 63,800 affected people (59 percent women) by the end of October with US$ 708,000 and 383.4 mt.
• WFP also conducted nutrition screening and provided specialised nutritious foods (SNFs) to 2,400 children aged 6-59 months for malnutrition prevention.
• Given physical access challenges caused by the flood and rising water levels, WFP used multimodal transportation means (combining road and water transport means) to deliver assorted food commodities to affected communities.
