More than 100,000 people have been displaced by factional fighting and lawlessness in Burkina Faso, most within the past two months, according to a U.N. report published on Tuesday.
"Burkina Faso is, for the first time in its history, facing massive internal displacement," the report said.
"Repeated raids by armed groups and insecurity in the regions of Centre-Nord, Nord and Sahel have also triggered an unprecedented humanitarian emergency."
The government and humanitarian groups had begun a $100 million aid plan to help 900,000 people, it said.
