Food assistance is being provided to vulnerable families in the area during the lean season. 9 million will support 170,000 food-insecure people from October to March. This period is challenging for families as food stocks are low.

The contribution will be used to procure rice for food assistance activities. An analysis released this month shows that many people are facing crisis-level food insecurity. Further details about the food assistance and the analysis are available from ReliefWeb.
