Food insecurity is a growing concern in the area, with a notable increase in affected individuals. Compared to the same period last year, there has been a rise in the number of people experiencing high levels of acute food insecurity. The current situation is attributed to factors such as irregular rainfall and high food prices.

Household incomes have also been reduced, and livestock disease is a contributing factor. Further details on the situation and projections for the upcoming months are available from the IPC Acute Food Insecurity Analysis report.
