Six months after the November 2025 drought declaration, a needs assessment conducted in April 2026 focused on quantifying losses and damages, including non-economic losses. This assessment aims to inform the ongoing humanitarian response to the drought-affected populations. Several organizations, including Action Aid International and Islamic Relief Worldwide, are active in the country.

Funding for humanitarian operations remains significantly below requirements, with only 66% of the necessary funds secured. The country also faces an extremely high INFORM risk class, ranking second globally.

The drought has led to substantial loss and damage in agriculture, food and nutrition, health, shelter, and water, sanitation, and hygiene sectors. There are over 112,000 internally displaced persons in the country.

The specific non-economic losses identified by the assessment are not detailed in the provided excerpts.
