[IPS] United Nations -- Over the past few years, the humanitarian crisis in Africa's Sahel region has expanded considerably, largely driven by a surge of violence--particularly in the Central Sahel. Although the crisis has been described by the United Nations (UN) as having "largely faded from the headlines" since its wake in 2012, millions of people across the region are in dire need of humanitarian assistance as civilian displacement, climate shocks, and widespread hunger rapidly spill across borders.
