Synopsis (short abstract) On 14 August, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit the southern regions of Haiti, in particular the departments of Grand’Anse, Nippes and Sud. Two days later, Tropical Storm Grace’s torrential rains caused floods and landslides in the same departments affected by the earthquake, as well as in Sud-Est. Preliminary reports from the Departmental Directorates of Agriculture and FAO's partners indicate widespread damages to the agricultural sector. FAO’s urgent call for funding aims at providing a response to affected populations, by protecting and restoring the livelihoods of 32 000 rural households (160 000 people) affected by the earthquake and Storm Grace.

    Two consecutive waves of devastating flash floods in May–June 2022 have severely disrupted the lives and livelihoods of 7.3 million people from predominantly rural communities in nine northeastern districts in Bangladesh. The climate-induced disaster damaged 65 percent of crops, 44 percent of livestock assets and 60 percent of fisheries, impacting the livelihoods of more than 758 000 farming households, 371 573 livestock and poultry keeping households and 75 000 fishers, among others. The document provides an overview of the impact of the disaster on agriculture and food security as well as FAO's planned response and funding requirements.

    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.

    Nigeria: Urgent call for assistance 2022

    Severe floods across Nigeria during the recent agricultural season (April–October) have had a devastating impact on livelihood assets, food stocks and yield prospects for the main harvest, disrupting people’s lives and livelihoods. The disaster will increase the vulnerability of farming and fishery households to food insecurity for the greater part of 2023, especially during the lean season (June–August 2023). These conditions, coupled with the high proportion of households facing large food consumption gaps and the heavy reliance on purchased grain in the face of increased food prices, will likely lead to the further deterioration of the food security situation within a few months after the main harvest. The floods have also negatively impacted fish production as aquatic ecosystems and fish farms were damaged, exposing riverine communities and fish farmers to food insecurity and income loss. Restoring the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and livestock keepers will help them produce food for themselves and their communities. Urgent agricultural assistance is a frontline humanitarian response to mitigate the impact of the floods and save lives.
