The Sahel has grappled with a deteriorating humanitarian crisis, made worse by climate change and food insecurity. Violence has forced people like Rinata Baguign to flee their homes, after witnessing the killings of her relatives. Many have been displaced multiple times.
Now, the steady increase of infection rates from COVID-19 indicates another looming emergency.
Women and children are bearing the brunt of this crisis. National health services are overwhelmed, and despite the generosity of local communities, many have reached breaking point.
