Food insecurity is a concern in the north and northeast of Côte d'Ivoire. Many people in these areas will require humanitarian food assistance to meet their basic needs. The number of people in need is estimated to be between 500,000 and 749,999.

The northern regions are hosting a large number of refugees, which is contributing to the food insecurity. The influx of refugees is due to conflicts in neighboring countries. Further details on the situation are available from ReliefWeb.

The affected households are dispersed among host sites and communities, leading to stressed outcomes in the north. The situation is expected to continue through January 2027, with the lean season from June to August being a particularly challenging time.
