Ngala has been recording spontaneous movements due to government policy on camp closure and the ongoing fights between GF/NSAG and surrendering members of NSAG. The surrenders have triggered the recent movements to Gamboru where the returned population affected by the insurgency, are currently staying with approximately 571HH, representing 4,000 individuals with limited humanitarian assistance. Considering the lack of capacity on ground and the reported deteriorating humanitarian situation, on April 21st and 22nd, 2021, the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) coordination group decided to launch a multi-sectoral needs assessment at Gamboru ward C. Three partners, NRC, DRC and Solidarités International (SI), conducted assessments in Gamboru word C Host Communities site.
