Key takeaway Crisis conditions are expected to continue in isolated areas, while other nearby government-controlled areas are likely to experience stressed conditions.
Food access is a concern in areas near the front lines due to ongoing conflict and rising costs. Crisis conditions are expected to continue in isolated areas, while other nearby government-controlled areas are likely to experience stressed conditions. Displaced, elderly, and poor households are disproportionately affected by limited food access.
In other parts of the country, favorable harvests and functioning markets are expected to support stable food conditions. Further details on the situation and expected outcomes are available from ReliefWeb, including information on seasonal increases in food assistance needs during the winter months.
