Burkina Faso: 2 Million Displaced, Aid Shortage.
Burkina Faso has become a country with one of the world's fastest-growing populations of internally displaced people, with more than 2 million people displaced due to violence linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group. The majority of those displaced are women and children, fueling a dire humanitarian crisis as the conflict pushed people from their homes, off their farms, and into congested urban areas or makeshift camps. Aid groups and the government are scrambling to respond amid a lack of funds and growing needs. One in four people requires aid, and tens of thousands are facing catastrophic levels of hunger.
