NewsletterGIEWS Special Alert No. 343 - Southern Africa - 26 February 2018
Erratic rains and an intense dry period in January lowers 2018 cereal production prospects
2018Also available in:
Erratic precipitation and well below-average rains in January have lowered Southern Africa’s overall 2018 cereal production prospects. Current national maize stocks are forecast at above-average levels due to the record outputs in 2017; this should partly cushion the expected production declines in 2018. Reduced harvests are still foreseen to intensify food insecurity in 2018, increasing the number of people in need of assistance; however, humanitarian needs expected to remain below the levels of 2016. -
NewsletterGIEWS Special Alert No. 350 - Somalia, 27 September 2022
Unless humanitarian assistance is urgently scaled up, famine is expected in late 2022 due to unprecedented multi‑season drought
2022Also available in:
Famine is expected to occur in Bay Region between October and December 2022, if humanitarian assistance is not urgently scaled up. About 6.7 million people, over 40 percent of the total population, are projected to face severe acute food insecurity, including over 300 000 people in IPC Phase 5 (Catastrophe). The dire food insecurity situation is the consequence of a prolonged drought that began in late 2020, compounded by the protracted conflict and hikes in international prices of foodstuffs and fuel caused by the war in Ukraine. As meteorological forecasts point to below-average October–December 2022 “Deyr” rains, food security conditions are expected to deteriorate. -
NewsletterGIEWS Update – The Republic of Haiti, 20 May 2024
Already critical levels of acute food insecurity likely to deteriorate
2024Also available in:
Food insecurity in Haiti has been worsening since 2018 due to economic setbacks and below‑average agricultural production, exacerbated by escalating violence. Heightened violence has disrupted food supply, hindered access to essential services, increased internal displacements of people and affected delivery of humanitarian assistance. The number of people facing high levels of acute food insecurity is projected to reach a record level of 5 million, half of the population analysed, between March and June 2024.
