The situation across the Middle East and North Africa region remains tense, with ongoing pressures in Iraq, Israel/Gaza/West Bank, and Sahel desert areas. In addition to ongoing conflict and displacement in certain areas, high food and fuel prices along with severe drought have intensified humanitarian needs. CIDA's contribution is supporting the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to help meet the protection, material, and medical needs of displaced populations in the Middle East and North Africa. Activities focus on taking steps to bridge existing protection gaps and ensuring that the basic needs of refugees and Internally Displaced Populations (IDPs) in Yemen, North Africa, Iraq and within the Middle East are met, through the provision of material, medical and other assistance. Activities also include supporting host governments; strengthening external relations with Gulf States, regional intergovernmental organizations and civil society; and designing and implementing a situational approach to monitor developments related to statelessness.
