Burkina Faso faces a rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation. Attacks by non-state armed groups increased dramatically in 2019 and continued in 2020. More civilians are being targeted or threatened. As of 23 August 2020, the country had recorded 337 security incidents since the start of the year, causing 575 civilian casualties, including 28 children. As a result, new waves of displacement continue in several regions. According to CONASUR, as of November 10, 2020, the country has registered 1,049,767 IDPs of which 55% are children (0-14 years) and nearly 53% female. The number of IDP children increased from 300,000 as of December 9, 2019 to 534,894 as of November 10, 2020. 22% of IDPs live with host families with access to health care, water, sanitation, hygiene and child protection services are inadequate. The most affected regions are the Center-North, followed by the Sahel, the North, the East, the Center-East and the Boucle de Mouhoun. In addition to the security situation, the country is also facing flooding due to torrential rains and events that have exacerbated the situation of the already precarious population. In 2020, at least 106,228 including 60,433 children were affected by floods and strong winds causing 41 deaths, 112 injuries and 12,378 residential houses destroyed. In addition, although the country has been slightly impacted so far by the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk exists and could have serious health and social consequences if it were to strike the populations affected by the crisis. safe.
