6.3 million people in Burkina Faso need protection from violence and aid to recover, as the West African nation faces an unprecedented crisis due to terror attacks, climate disasters, and a deteriorating security situation. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is working with partners to support the government's efforts, assisting over 730,000 people this year.
