A year after the Marawi conflict, efforts are underway to provide solutions for people still living in displacement. While response has transitioned from emergency to early recovery, the displaced population face humanitarian gaps related to basic services, access to healthcare, education and livelihood opportunities.
Most are still dependent on assistance hence the need to balance resource allocation to address outstanding humanitarian needs vis-à-vis early recovery and rehabilitation initiatives.
UNHCR continues to monitor the situation on the ground; and will continue to work with the Government to ensure that critical protection issues are addressed for those living in displacement . UNHCR will prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable by ensuring equitable access to aid; and targeted assistance for persons with specific needs, the elderly, survivors of sexual violence and orphaned children among others.
