Cet article raconte la manière dont les acteurs humanitaires notamment ceux de World Vision et du PAM arrivent à contourner les défis pour atteindre les personnes les plus vulnérables. Pour ce contexte il s’agit des personnes déplacées internes qui n’avaient pas accès à l’aide humanitaire à cause de l’impraticabilité des routes suite aux diverses raisons. Mais grâce à leur résilience, bien que d’autres personnes sont décédées de faim, ces déplacés internes ont maintenant accès à l’aide et reçoivent des vivres. Leurs enfants sont désormais épargnés de la faim et la malnutrition.
