Highlights

• Access continues to improve in central regions and, up to a certain extent, to northern regions. The Douentza-Gao road has been reopened. However, overall access to the north remains limited due to the threat of mines, recent violence and on-going military operations.

• Protection remains an urgent priority, particularly in terms of risks of explosive remnants of war and mines, human rights, gender-based violence and child protection.

• Few additional displacements have been reported. Observed returns of people displaced for a long time remain extremely limited – 2,309 people as of 10 February

• The roughly 6,600 IDPs stranded at the Algerian border at Tin Zaoutin are now receiving various forms of assistance, but have not received any food assistance yet.
