Food insecurity is a growing concern for many women and girls. In countries that are likely to be severely impacted, a significant number of females are already at risk. This vulnerability is particularly pronounced, with women and girls being disproportionately affected in nearly all of these countries.

A weather phenomenon is expected to exacerbate the situation, leading to severe droughts and floods in various regions. This will increase the likelihood of malnutrition and disease. Further information on this issue can be found through ReliefWeb, which provides more details on the potential humanitarian crisis and its effects on local populations.
