    GIEWS Special Alert No. 349 - West Africa-Sahel, 16 May 2022
    Food insecurity at unprecedented levels in most coastal and Sahelian countries
    2022
    Also available in:
    An estimated 27.3 million people are facing acute food insecurity between March and May 2022. This number is projected to increase to an unprecedented 38.3 million between June and August 2022 if humanitarian interventions are not scaled up. The alarming high level of food insecurity is due to localized shortfalls in cereal production in 2021, worsening conflicts, high food prices and macroeconomic challenges compounded by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of food insecure people could increase above initial projections in the second half of 2022 as spikes in food and fuel prices, exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, are likely to worsen access to food. Further aggravating risk factors to food insecurity are the high prices of agricultural inputs, notably fertilizers, persisting insecurity and forecast localized unfavourable weather conditions that could have additional negative impacts on agricultural production.

    Alerte Spéciale No. 332- IRAQ, 25 Juin 2014 2014
    Also available in:
    L’Iraq se trouve de nouveau dans une situation humanitaire précaire en raison de l’escalade récente du conflit armé. De longues années d’instabilité avaient provoqué des crises humanitaires prolongées et une importante dégradation tant de l’accès aux services essentiels que de la qualité de ces derniers. Malgré les quelques progrès enregistrés ces dernières années, qui avaient permis de limiter les pénuries alimentaires, l’insécurité civile, la perturbation des marchés, la faiblesse des revenus et le manque d’accès à des quantités suffisantes de nourriture restent les principales causes de l’insécurité alimentaire en Iraq. Le système de distribution publique est toujours la principale source de nourriture pour les Iraquiens pauvres, bien que d’après les rapports, le taux de dépendance ait diminué, passant de 67 pour cent en 2007 à 57 pour cent en 2011.
