0 . MAJOR CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE HIP
Since May 2014, the north of the country has relapsed into conflict. Contrary to what had been expected, Government services will not be fully re-established in the short-term, thus further aggravating the situation of 1.9 million food insecure people in country and preventing the expected return of 140 000 refugees from Burkina Faso, Mauritania and Niger, who are also in need of assistance. Despite problems of security and access, humanitarian agencies remain the only actors providing basic services such as food, water and healthcare in Northern Mali.
An additional amount of EUR 5 000 000 needs to be urgently allocated to ensure that food pipelines are rapidly and adequately mobilised. Increase access to health and water should be ensured in areas of new displaced population. Care and maintenance of refugees' camps should be maintained in Burkina Faso, Niger and Mauritania.
