Synopsis (short abstract) Years of conflict in Iraq has left 3.2 million people food insecure, including those who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Humanitarian needs remain significant after eight months since military operations to retake Mosul from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) started. According to figures from the Iraqi Government, on 28 June 2017, more than 897 000 people had been displaced from Mosul and surrounding areas since the offensive began on 17 October 2016. As of 28 June 201 7, 152 313 people had returned to their homes in eastern Mosul and 62 513 people to western Mosul. Military operations continue in western Mosul, where concerns remain for the protection of civilians in the remaining ISIL-controlled areas in the city.

    Some 2.9 million Iraqis are food insecure – 77 percent are women, children or elderly. Agricultural production has declined by 40 per cent since 2014. A livestock vaccination and animal feeding program is needed to support farmers fleeing conflict with livestock, some of which are likely to carry diseases.

    A concerted and massive humanitarian response is containing famine in Unity State, with the number of people in famine conditions in the county down from a projected 90 000 to 25 000. However, hunger continues to spread across the country with 6 million people now severely food insecure. Of these, 1.7 million people – increased from 1 million in February – are at risk of famine (IPC Phase 4). In addition, 20 000 people in Ayod County of Greater Jonglei, where food security is deteriorating rapid ly, are facing famine conditions. Armed conflict, a continued economic crisis and below-average 2016 harvests, which were exhausted well before the ongoing lean season, are the main drivers of the worsening food security. In Greater Equatoria, and particularly some of South Sudan’s most productive areas, fighting has severely disrupted agricultural activities and markets, forcing huge numbers of the population to flee to Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and causing many to miss th e 2017 main planting season. Acute malnutrition remains a major emergency in many parts of the country, driven by conflict, displacement, poor access to services, disease outbreaks, extremely poor diet (quality and quantity) and low coverage of sanitation facilities.
