Key takeaway Maize-producing households were particularly affected, with nearly all losing their 2026 Primera harvest.
A recent assessment found over 91,000 households in the Dry Corridor are facing crop failure and lost income due to drought. Maize-producing households were particularly affected, with nearly all losing their 2026 Primera harvest. Many are now struggling with water shortages and limited food supplies.
The drought has led to significant price increases, with maize prices rising 67 per cent in one country and 32 per cent in another. Further details on the situation are available from the source. Assistance efforts are underway in several countries, with the UN and partners providing aid to those affected by an earthquake and armed violence.
