This report outlines the countries considered to be in greatest humanitarian need as we approach the end of 2015. Based on our weekly monitoring, and three years of data on humanitarian needs across 150 countries, we have identified eleven countries where humanitarian needs are likely to be highest in 2016, as well as seven that merit attention, as they face a potential spike in needs. A final section considers the potential impact of the current El Niño event across a number of regions.
