Comments: Following the armed conflict in the northern part of Mali, the refugees fleeing Mali entered Mauritania, mainly Fassala in the district of Bassikounou located in the far South-East. More than 11,000 people have already crossed the border in Mauritania. With the poor rainfall registered in 2011, the Hodh Chargui region (where Fassala is located) is already facing an alarming nutrition crisis. The arrival of the Malian refugees constitutes an additional pressure on the poor resources, and this situation deeply weakens an already desperate humanitarian context for both the refugees and the host communities. Therefore, the arrival of these Malian refugees aggravates this gloomy picture.
