"What we need now is food. Everything else can wait," Sawadogo told the United Nations World Food Program. "Once we get food then we will worry about clothes." Nearly half a million people have been displaced this year in Burkina Faso alone as the landlocked country becomes the new hunting ground for militants linked to Daesh and Al Qaeda."A dramatic human crisis is unfolding in Burkina Faso that has disrupted the lives of millions," the WFP’s executive director, David Beasley, said in a statement. WFP teams are seeing malnutrition levels "pushed well past emergency thresholds," he said.
"You are looking at a situation that is developing into something really severe, I would even say dire," WFP regional spokesman George Fominyen told The Associated Press. WFP is assisting more than 2.6 million people in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. It said $150 million is urgently needed in a region where some 20 million people live in conflict-affected areas.
