While the number of people reached with assistance per group remained low, partners continued to support millions of people, with 7.8 million people receiving food assistance each month, about 1 million receiving water, sanitation, and hygiene services, and over 400,000 receiving health care. Food assistance was provided to about 530,000 persons.
