The Humanitarian situation in Cameroon for the month of August has been caracterised by severe flooding in Cameroon's Far North Region, impacting over 150,000 people as of late August, disproportionately affecting women and girls. Maternal deaths have been reported due to disrupted access to healthcare. Insecurities in the North West, South West and Far North regions, due to clashes between government forces and non-state armed groups, continue to cause casualties, drive displacement, and disrupt livelihoods.
UNFPA is prioritizing the urgent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and protection needs of women and girls in flood-affected areas. UNFPA requires USD 1,174,045 to address the needs of 129,149 individuals, primarily women and girls.
