FAO–WFP early warnings on acute food insecurity: June to October 2025 outlook
2025Also available in:
No results found.In the current edition of a regular joint bi-yearly report, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) warn that acute food insecurity is likely to worsen across 13 countries and territories identified as hotspots, during the outlook period from June to October 2025.The Sudan, Palestine, South Sudan, Haiti and Mali remain hotspots at the highest concern level, while Yemen, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Myanmar are classified as hotspots of very high concern. Other hotspots are Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Chad, Somalia and the Syrian Arab Republic. Since the October 2024 edition, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo have been elevated to hotspot status. Conversely, regional clusters in East Africa (Ethiopia and Kenya) and Southern Africa (Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe), as well as Niger, are no longer classified as hotspots due to improvements in climatic conditions. Nigeria, and Lebanon are also no longer classified as hotspots due to some improvement in the economic situation and a reduction in the intensity of military operations, respectively. Although these countries are no longer considered hotspots for the outlook period, future economic and conflict-related shocks, or climatic shifts, could lead to their reclassification.For the outlook period, funding for food and nutrition assistance falls critically short. Funding for humanitarian assistance must not be reduced. Instead, urgent assistance should be scaled up to protect livelihoods and improve food access across all hunger hotspots. This report outlines country-specific recommendations for urgent emergency responses, as well as anticipatory actions to meet existing humanitarian needs and implement short-term protective interventions before new crises emerge.The report focuses on the most severe and deteriorating acute hunger situations, but it does not represent all countries/territories experiencing high levels of acute food insecurity. -

FAO–WFP early warnings on acute food insecurity: November 2023 to April 2024 outlook
2023Also available in:
No results found.In the current edition of a regular joint bi-yearly report, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) issue an early warning for urgent humanitarian action in 18 hunger hotspots in which acute food insecurity is likely to deteriorate further during the outlook period from November 2023 to April 2024. The report also identifies main drivers of acute food insecurity and country specific priorities for both emergency and anticipatory action. Selected through a comprehensive forward looking analysis, in the 18 hunger hotspots– comprising a total of 22 countries or territories including 2 regional clusters – parts of the population will likely face a significant deterioration of already high levels of acute food insecurity, putting lives and livelihoods at risk. Weather extremes, such as heavy rains, tropical storms, cyclones, flooding, drought and increased climate variability, remain significant drivers of acute food insecurity. The report also provides country-specific recommendations on priorities for emergency response, as well as anticipatory actions to address existing humanitarian needs and ensure short-term protective interventions before new needs materialize. Urgent and scaled-up assistance is required in all 18 hunger hotspots to protect livelihoods and increase access to food. This is essential to avert a further deterioration of acute food insecurity and malnutrition. In the hotspots of highest concern, humanitarian actions are critical in preventing further starvation and death. However, humanitarian access is limited in various ways, including insecurity due to organized violence or conflict, the presence of administrative or bureaucratic impediments, and movement restrictions.
