The security situation is deteriorating in Burkina Faso. Since 2015, jihadist groups have regularly attacked villages in the north and east of the country. Many inhabitants of these regions leave for safer places, leaving everything behind.
These are the internally displaced persons (IDPs) because they move within the same country. According to OCHA, there are more than 1.2 million IDPs in Burkina Faso as of February 28, 2021.
After fleeing the violence, the displaced have left everything behind. They find themselves without financial and rudimentary resources such as water, food, clothing…
