In West and Central Africa, nearly 55 million people are at risk of acute food insecurity. This is due to several converging shocks, including conflicts, climate issues, and health risks. The region is facing a complex situation with multiple crises interacting simultaneously.

The combination of these factors is undermining regional food systems. 8 million, are already at risk between June and August 2026. Further details on this situation are available from ReliefWeb, which provides more information on the current state of food insecurity in the region.
