An Operation update was issued on 28 May 2012.
The current Revised Emergency Appeal decreases the budget from CHF 1,794,192 to CHF 1,009,507. Some food security activities of the operation have had to be cut out, scaled down or revised due to low funding. At the same time, activities to respond to the Malian refugee situation have been revised or added. In the process, the revised operation will actually reach more households. The revision also provides a summary update on the operation.
