Food insecurity is a major concern due to severely below-average rainfall. This has led to widespread crop losses, particularly for late-planted crops. Many farmers have experienced repeated crop failures, with some attempting to plant multiple times.

Poor households are struggling to meet their basic food needs, relying on unsustainable methods to get by. A one-time humanitarian food distribution was made in August, but it is not enough to address the ongoing issue. Further information on the situation and its expected outcomes is available, indicating a difficult period ahead for those affected by food insecurity and crop losses.
