Where it stands
More than 75,000 people have been displaced in Lac Province since May, mostly fleeing Lake Chad islands after a deadly attack on a military base and a counter-offensive. The IOM is scaling up aid but can operate only in stable areas, leaving the islands inaccessible; safe return or resettlement is not reported.
