A delay in reporting has left the true extent of access issues unclear, raising concerns that the situation on the ground may be far more severe than recent data suggests. Without up-to-date figures, officials and the public are operating with incomplete information, potentially underestimating the challenges faced. The gap between recorded statistics and real-time conditions could obscure critical needs, delaying effective responses. Experts warn that outdated data may mask worsening disparities in availability, leaving gaps in policy and resource allocation.
Because of a data lag, the current reality of access may be even worse.
