  7. SAHEL CRISIS: KEY MESSAGE Across the Sahel, millions were already vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition because of repeated poor harvests. This was further complicated by seasonal flooding damaging or destroying crops and homes. Recent political instability and armed conflict have increased the vulnerability of hundreds of thousands as they move in search of safety. Poor children under five are particularly vulnerable during complex emergencies. Plan has developed a coordinated emergency response to the complex crises in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger that focuses on child protection, WASH, education and health for children under five.
