Thousands of people have been forced from their homes and are experiencing acute hunger, making the air deliveries a primary source of food assistance.
Aircraft are dropping food packages directly to affected locations where ground transport is blocked. The operation targets areas where residents have limited or no access to markets or other supply routes.
Displacement has increased demand for emergency food supplies across multiple regions. Continued flooding and insecurity keep many routes closed, sustaining the need for aerial deliveries.
