Eye on Africa - Cameroon Overtakes Burkina Faso as World's Most Neglected Humanitarian Crisis
- The Norwegian Refugee Council released its 2024 report naming Cameroon the world’s most neglected displacement crisis due to ongoing conflicts and insufficient aid.

- The report warns that these funding cuts worsen poverty and trafficking, urging governments and citizens to demand a reversal of aid reductions.
