The 2025-2026 rainy season in Peru is characterized by moderate to heavy rainfall across much of the country (mountains, jungle, and some coastal departments). The metrological departments has issued orange and red weather warnings indicating heavy rainfall that could affect up to 21 departments in the country, with episodes of intense rain that have triggered hazards such as landslides, mudslides, and flooding, causing damage and losses in different districts across the country.

In the last week of February INDECI has issued a short-term warning bulletin regarding the possible activation of streams No. 056-2026-INDECI/COEN, indicating that eight regions are at very high risk of activation, while 10 are at high risk.

In regions such as Cajamarca, Huancavelica, Ayacucho, Cusco, Arequipa, Apurímac, among others, flooding and debris flows have affected key crops such as potatoes, corn (starchy and hard yellow), beans, and wheat, especially in the central and southern areas (La Encañada, Namora, Matara, Chugur) in the Cajamarca River basin. The loss of these products could increase prices in local markets, which in turn would affect family economies in the affected areas. Currently, there are 2,136 emergencies registered due to heavy rains and associated hazards.

According to the assessment carried out by the ACT Peru Forum, this is a high-level emergency with a tendency to increase, as the heavy rains recorded have caused serious damage to health, housing, livelihoods, and public infrastructure in different regions of Peru, but also due to information provided by MIDAGRI on the presence of the Coastal El Niño phenomenon in the country, which makes this scenario even more critical, mainly in the northern regions of the country such as Piura, Tumbes, and Lambayeque, where flooding has severely affected the population in the last week. According to assessments, around 11,181 families (115,665 people) have been affected by the rains and floods.

PREDES an observer member of the ACT Peru forum, is planning to extend its response to the affected areas.

As of late February 2026, the Woro community in the Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria, is experiencing significant displacement following a series of brutal terrorist attacks that began on February 3, 2026. The attacks have left the community largely deserted, with over 160–200 people reported dead, many homes burned, and dozens abducted.

Scale of Displacement: Over 2700 people were initially reported displaced following the February 3, 2026, attack. While some have begun to return, many remain in temporary shelters in neighboring communities.

On February 3, 2026, a massive group of heavily armed militants—estimated to be in the hundreds—launched a coordinated assault on the rural villages of Woro and Nuku in the Kaiama Local Government Area (LGA) of Kwara State. The attack, which began around 6:00 p.m., was particularly brutal; survivors reported that militants rounded up residents, bound their hands, and executed them at close range or burnt them alive in their homes.

Official and humanitarian sources report between 162 and over 200 deaths. At least 78 bodies were recovered and buried in mass graves immediately following the incident. More than 50 people were hospitalized with severe gunshot wounds and burns. Approximately 35 to 42 people, primarily women and children, were abducted during the raid.

Security risks in some locations also slowed operations, while community resistance further complicated humanitarian access and aid delivery.

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) identified food, shelter, health services, water and sanitation, and livelihood support as the most urgent needs of victims and survivors.

Most of the survivors are currently leaving as Internally Displaced Persons. Issues such as insufficient shelter, limited access to clean water and sanitation facilities, and inadequate healthcare services further compound the challenges faced by these displaced individuals.

ACT Alliance member Ecumenism for Development and Peace Initiative (EDAPI) is assessing the situation and planning to extend its response to the affected areas.

Over 60 people have died, more than 110 have been injured, at least 458 houses have been damaged, and approximately 360 families have been affected shared by the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA).

The eastern provinces, particularly Nangarhar, Laghman, and Kunar, have been severely impacted. Initial reports from Provincial Disaster Management Authorities (PDMA) indicate at least 11 fatalities, over 41 injuries, 48 livestock losses, and damage to more than 426 households. IDP camps established after the recent earthquake in Kunar have also been affected, increasing vulnerabilities among displaced families.

Rapid needs assessments are currently underway in Kunar, led by IOM with CWSA participation, while CWSA is leading the assessment in Laghman.

Preliminary findings from joint assessments with IOM, WFP, UNICEF, ANDMA, and other partners highlight urgent needs for shelter rehabilitation, WASH services, health support, cash assistance for heating and fuel, multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA), and maintenance of existing water systems.

In the eastern provinces, preliminary reports indicate at least 11 fatalities, more than 41 injuries, loss of livestock, and damage to over 426 households. Three temporary IDP camps in Kunar, established after the recent Kunar earthquake have also been affected, further exacerbating vulnerabilities among displaced families.

ACT Alert Heavy Rain and Snowfall Emergency in Afghanistan

On 19 January 2026, a moderate-to-strong earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale struck northern Gilgit-Baltistan, with its epicentre located approximately 50 kilometres north-northwest of Karimabad, Hunza, in close proximity to the Yash Kuk Glacier and the Chuperson Valley.

The earthquake was felt across Upper Hunza (Gojal), lower Hunza, parts of Ghizer district, and adjoining valleys, causing widespread panic among residents and tourists.

The earthquake occurred during peak winter conditions, when temperatures in Upper Hunza routinely fall between –10°C and –15°C, with snowfall, icy winds, and limited daylight hours. These conditions have significantly exacerbated the humanitarian situation. Preliminary assessments indicate that over 100 houses have been completely destroyed, while nearly 200 additional houses are severely cracked and unsafe for habitation. Damage to water supply channels, micro-hydropower systems, and cattle sheds has been widespread, resulting in loss of livestock and increased risks to food security and livelihoods.

Due to extreme weather displaced families are facing prolonged exposure to cold, limited access to heating fuel, and heightened health risks, particularly respiratory infections, hypothermia, and complications among children, older persons, and those with pre-existing conditions. The cumulative impact of shelter damage, winter exposure, and livelihood disruption places affected communities at high risk of deteriorating humanitarian conditions without timely intervention.

ACT Alliance member Community World Services Asia is currently on ground implemented their ongoing projects and planning to extend emergency assistance to the affected areas with the support from the ACT Alliance Rapid Response Fund (RRF).
