As a result of the ongoing conflict, more than 500,000 people have been displaced of whom 260,417 are women and 158,323 are children. The numbers are likely to increase as there has not been any cessation of hostilities agreed by the two countries at the time of this appeal. In early December 2025, long-standing tensions along the Cambodia-Thailand disputed border escalated into renewed conflict, including artillery exchanges, air strikes, and heavy fighting in multiple frontier areas.

Displacement has been reported across six border-affected provinces: Banteay Meanchey, Oddar Meanchey, Preah Vihear, Battambang, Pursat, and Koh Kong. Siem Reap Province is significantly impacted as a key host area for people fleeing from Banteay Meanchey, Oddar Meanchey and Preah Vihear). Other seven provinces have received some displaced population by hosting them with their relatives.

According to government figures 322,545 people have moved to 196 sites established by government while the remaining 175,697 people staying with relatives. Due to conflict 17 civilian died and 77 injured (MoI, 16 Dec 2025). 883 schools have been closed, affecting 208,985 students and 7,278 teachers (HRF, 12 Dec 2025).

The need assessments revealed that Shelter/NFIs, Food, WASH specially sanitation facilities, safe drinking water, Primary Health care services , Maternal and Child Health (MCH)/immunization, and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) and education are the main needs of the displaced population.

ACT Alliance member in Cambodia LHCO is extending support by providing cash assistance, WASH and psycho-social support, shelter and NFIs support through the rapid response fund.

The humanitarian situation in Haiti represents a compound crisis resulting from the convergence of a rapid-onset natural disaster Hurricane Melissa and a protracted conflict-driven emergency.
The impacts of Hurricane Melissa (Category 3) have severely intensified existing vulnerabilities created by years of armed violence, displacement, and economic collapse.
Together, these dual shocks have generated widespread destruction, displacement, and protection risks, straining the capacity of national institutions and humanitarian actors alike.

Between 26–30 October 2025, a Category 3 tropical cyclone, made landfall over southern Haiti, bringing torrential rainfall exceeding 400 mm, flash flooding, and coastal surges across seven departments — Ouest, Sud, Grand’Anse, Nippes, Sud-Est, Nord-Ouest and Artibonite.

According to the Direction Générale de la Protection Civile (DGPC), 43 people have died, 13 remain missing, and over 14 000 people have been displaced. According to the UN, 1.25 million people have been affected in Haiti. Approximately 16 000 homes have been damaged or destroyed, and 10 health facilities have reported flood-related disruptions.

Since 2021, Haiti has faced an escalating wave of armed conflict and gang violence, driving widespread displacement, insecurity, and humanitarian need.
An estimated 5,600 people were killed in 2024, with over 3,000 additional deaths recorded in the first half of 2025. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reports that over 1.4 million people are internally displaced, many living in overcrowded informal shelters without access to water, sanitation, or protection services.

Armed groups currently control approximately 85–90% of the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince, and have expanded their influence along the southern corridor, cutting off key supply routes and humanitarian corridors.

According to assessments key needs and gaps are Lack of safe potable water and adequate latrines for displaced and host populations,  Limited access to life-saving health and nutrition services,  Severe disruption of food security and agricultural livelihoods,  Unmet needs for emergency and transitional shelter and household kits, protection risks in collective shelters, including GBV exposure; and Persistent access and logistics constraints hindering timely delivery.

ACT Alliance members Christian Aid, Church World Service, Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe, Lutheran World Federation and World Renew have a developed an appeal addressing the urgent and medium-term needs of the affected population. detailed appeal can be accessed via the link.

ACT Appeal HTI251 – Response to Hurricane Mellisa and Armed Conflicts and displacements

The Cox’s Bazar crisis represents one of the world’s most protracted humanitarian emergencies, originating from the mass influx of over 745,000 Rohingya refugees from Rakhine State, Myanmar, in August 2017. Currently, around 1.14 million refugees live in 33 densely populated camps across Ukhiya and Teknaf upazilas, alongside a vulnerable host community. The situation has evolved beyond an acute emergency into a complex humanitarian-development challenge marked by severe food insecurity, deteriorating health conditions, and growing socio-environmental strain. Overcrowding within camps aggravated by high birth rates averaging 30,000–35,000 new births annually continue to stretch already limited resources, increase demand for maternal and child health services, and exacerbate sanitation challenges.

The demographic composition of the refugee population remains weighted toward vulnerable groups: 52 percent are women and girls, 49 percent are children under 18, and about 4 percent are older persons (UNHCR, July 2025). The majority are stateless ethnic Rohingya who remain fully dependent on humanitarian aid. Recurrent funding shortfalls have directly worsened living conditions. Since 2023, WFP has been forced to reduce food rations by up to 30 percent due to severe funding gaps, cutting monthly entitlements and pushing thousands of households into crisis-level food insecurity. Malnutrition rates have consequently risen, with Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) fluctuating between 8.6 and 12.7 percent (UNHCR, 2024).

The Joint Response Plan (JRP) and ISNA/J-MSNA assessments identify the most acute shortfalls in food security, health (including disease surveillance and primary care), nutrition, WASH, shelter-CCCM, protection (child protection, GBV), and education, with the greatest concentration of unmet needs in the most congested camps and in adjacent host-community. The JRP’s hyper-prioritization for 2025 lists food security, health & nutrition, shelter, protection, site management and WASH among the first-priority gaps to avoid a collapse in life-saving services (JRP 2025-26).

ACT Alliance members CCDB, Cordaid, HEKS/EPER and RDRS — have developed an appeal to address the urgent, medium- and long-term needs of these refugees in the camp. Detailed appeal is attached to here and a result matrix and budget will be shared upon request.
