In conflicts, one can always argue the data is "outdated" or "inaccurate" just because the population is displaced on an ongoing basis, and people's needs change.

This can't be an argument against the publication of a report.

"USAID...noted discrepancies in population estimates and some other data...FEWS NET did not resolve any of these concerns and published in spite of these technical comments and a request for substantive engagement before publication. As such, USAID asked to retract the report."
