The current very high and severe food insecurity is expected to deteriorate further in the long term. WFP warns that a funding gap will hamper its food aid operations in the coming months. The UN peacekeeping mission will withdraw from the country by December 2010, leaving the Government to handle the security and humanitarian situation.

    Market activities are hampered by conflict and civil insecurity, resulting in very limited access to food. Food security conditions are dramatically affected by the continuing conflict that limits the humanitarian agencies to access conflict-affected population. Agencies agree on a very high and alarming hunger situation. Massive displacement continues, as clashes intensify, particularly in the Northern and Eastern areas of the country. The IDPs population is estimated to be around 105,206. FAO has been providing support to agricultural activities; however access to land and inputs is very much constrained.
