This report presents the results of 41 site-surveys reporting mortality and nutrition data in refugee settings over 2005 and contained in the CEDAT database. Nearly half (49%) of the 2005 surveys in refugee settings available in CE-DAT displayed acute malnutrition levels above the emergency threshold. Of these, 90% displayed critical situations with GAM above 15%. In contrast to the nutritional status, mortality was under control (lower than the emergency threshold) in most sites reporting data in 2005.
