Synopsis (short abstract) In Rakhine State, the situation deteriorated dramatically in late 2017. After a series of armed attacks on border guard police posts in northern Rakhine, violence led to mass displacement, including 688 000 people who have sought refuge in Bangladesh since 25 August. Since 2012, violence has resulted in the internal displacement of 241 000 people across the country. The humanitarian situation is characterized by a complex combination of vulnerability to natural disasters, food insecurity, poor nutrition, armed conflict, inter-communal tensions, statelessness, displacement, trafficking and risky migration.

    Haiti remains affected by a convergence of humanitarian crises exacerbated by the impact of Hurricane Matthew (2016) and to a lesser extent Hurricanes Irma and Maria (2017), which have severely disrupted food production, impacting overall food security. Agriculture and livestock in Haiti – particularly the dairy sector – are a major source of income for poor rural communities. As many Haitians have seen their livelihoods disappear given the country’s high exposure and vulnerability to multiple hazards, repopulation of a part of the animals lost in the Hurricane, especially poultry and goats, is essential in order to improve food security.

    Now in its seventh year, the conflict has taken an even more devastating toll on the agriculture sector. In 2018, it is estimated that at least 1.5 million Syrians will be newly displaced, while around 1 million internally displaced people are expected to return to their communities of origin. As the crisis protracts in the Syrian Arab Republic, without immediate support, households in rural communities are no longer able to make a living through agriculture alone – their main source of income.

    In 2016–2017, Somalia faced one of its harshest droughts in recent history. However, the ongoing drought has not led to famine thanks primarily to large-scale humanitarian assistance. While the last deyr rains (October-December 2017) were slightly better than anticipated, sustained humanitarian assistance and support to livelihood recovery are needed in 2018 to prevent further deterioration of the food security and nutrition situation. Investment to protect and restore livelihoods is needed to save lives and reduce humanitarian need and related expenditure.
