What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A global study conducted by Gallup, based on the World Risk Poll, found that African regions have made the largest gains in disaster resilience since 2023. North Africa recorded a five-point increase, followed by Southern Africa with four points. These improvements were attributed to expanding internet access, better household preparedness, and improved financial resilience. However, the study noted that 220 million people affected by disasters in the past five years received no warning.
