Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetThe Democratic People's Republic of Korea | Revised humanitarian response (May–December 2020)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
2020Also available in:
No results found.Food insecurity is widespread in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea due to insufficient agricultural production, households’ inability to access diverse food, poor food utilization and a limited capacity to cope with recurrent natural disasters, including droughts and floods. Following the outbreak of COVID-19 in China in December 2019, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea took early measures in January 2020, including restrictions on the movement of people, goods and supplies across the country. These measures have prevented an outbreak of COVID-19 in the country, with no reported cases. In early April 2020, the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea started a phased relaxation of COVID-19-related restrictions and cautiously reopened limited cross-border trade with China along the Dandong-Shinju border. However, some COVID-19 containment measures remain in place, such as strict rules in economic activities and travel, as well as imports and fishing in border and coastal areas; and public health measures, including educational and awareness-raising campaigns. In the framework of FAO’s Corporate COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme and the United Nations Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19, FAO has revised its humanitarian response for 2020 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and address the needs of the most vulnerable households. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetThe Central African Republic | Revised humanitarian response (May–December 2020)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
2020Also available in:
No results found.Since the first COVID-19 cases were reported in the country, the Government has taken several urgent and essential health-related measures to mitigate the spread, including border closures, movement restrictions between Bangui and the largest towns in the East, the closure of the national airport and increased controls at the border with Cameroon. The effects of the essential restrictions have exacerbated the slowdown in food commodity imports and there have been major supply chain disruptions. The majority of imports are now coming from Cameroon due to the closure of borders with other countries, but a two-week delay in supply has been observed due to increased border controls, which created shortage in supply in Bangui as well as in other provinces.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetSyrian Arab Republic | Revised humanitarian response (May–December 2020)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
2020Also available in:
No results found.The Syrian Arab Republic is facing one of the most complex crises in the world. Almost ten years into the protracted crisis, hostilities continue with loss of lives, widespread displacement, limited economic opportunities, and destruction of livelihoods including agricultural infrastructure and services. The spread of COVID-19 is further exacerbating the impacts of the crisis. Some of the urgent and essential measures the Government has been using to control the spread of the virus include movement restrictions between cities, a curfew, banning public gatherings and shutdown of economic activities. COVID-19 containment measures have had the most significant direct impact on transport, retail, services and the daily waged labourers in and around the bigger cities. However, since remote and/or rural areas are also being impacted, the agriculture sector is heavily affected. In the framework of FAO’s Corporate COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme and the United Nations Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19, FAO has revised its humanitarian response for 2020 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and address the needs of the most vulnerable households.
