“Many communities have not received assistance, due to low mobilization of financial resources and difficulties of access in certain areas. In addition, food shortages lead many poor households to resort to harmful coping strategies,” said Secretary General of the Burkinabe Red Cross Lazare Zoungrana.
According to the Red Cross, the food crisis in Burkina risks deteriorating if strong measures are not taken, especially during the lean season (June-August).
Faced with this situation, the organization called on the partners to increase their food support for the populations affected by the crisis.
“We must act now and with the same momentum to mobilize resources. declared the head of the IFRC Delegation for the Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire Cluster, Thierry Balloy.
