Here are four reasons why the International Rescue Committee’s Emergency Watchlist ranks Mali as one of the countries most at risk of experiencing a worsening humanitarian crisis in 2024.
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian situation in several regions of Mali, particularly Ménaka. In the last week of January 2024, the IRC recorded over 4,690 people arriving from localities on the outskirts of Menaka due to continuing violence.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is warning of the grave humanitarian consequences if urgent attention is not paid to the deteriorating hunger and humanitarian crises in various parts of Mali, especially in the Menaka and Timbuktu regions. Climate change, ongoing violence in parts of the country and economic shocks have resulted in a significant increase in malnutrition and displacement across the country. Already, over 2,500 people are living in famine-like conditions meaning people are starving to death every day due to an extreme lack of food.
