Synopsis (short abstract) Rural communities of Pakistan were among the hardest hit by the devastating floods of June–August 2022. The disaster wiped out 1.7 million hectares of agricultural land and 800 000 heads of livestock, pushing millions of rural households into poverty and food insecurity. Around 14.6 million people are in need of food security and agricultural assistance. Restoring the livelihoods and food production of rural households is fundamental to the humanitarian response. The document provides an overview of the ongoing response of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in line with national priorities and the revised floods response plan (September 2022–May 2023).

    Between January and March 2023, Tropical Cyclone Freddy – the most energetic cyclone on record – and Tropical Storm Cheneso battered Malawi, Madagascar and Mozambique. At the same time, Zambia experienced destructive storms and torrential rains that resulted in severe flooding, affecting large swaths of inhabited and cropped lands. Critical social and economic infrastructure, fisheries equipment, livestock and hundreds of thousands of hectares of crops have been lost. As a result of these climate shocks, the crop production, food security, nutrition and livelihoods of some of the most vulnerable households have been severely jeopardized. Urgent assistance is needed rapidly to restore agricultural production.

    The rainfall on 26 and 27 September 2024 was identified as the heaviest ever recorded in Nepal's history. As at 5 October 2024, more than 5 300 households (approximately 26 500 people) had been affected across the districts of Kavre Palanchowk, Lalitpur, Makwanpur, Panchthar, Ramechhhap and Sindhuli. As at 16 October 2024, the death toll had reached 250 and more than 17 000 people had been rescued through rescue operations deploying more than 30 000 security personnel. The Government of Nepal declared 71 municipalities across 20 districts as disaster crisis or emergency zones due to the severe impact of landslides and floods. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO) Data in Emergencies (DIEM) conducted a DIEM-Impact assessment to understand the impact of the floods on the affected population, infrastructure and essential services from 17 to 24 November 2024. FAO established DIEM-Impact to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments, and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence.

    The insurgency in northeastern Nigeria remains a significant driver of the humanitarian crisis. Severe flooding across the country in 2022 devastated crops and livestock. Price spikes are further hindering vulnerable households’ access to food. By mid-year, 4.35 million people are projected to be acutely food insecure during the lean season in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states. Around 80 percent of northeastern Nigerians live in rural areas and depend on agriculture to provide for their families. Restoring their livelihoods is crucial to the humanitarian response.
