The twelfth round of Data in Emergencies Monitoring (DIEM-Monitoring) household-level data collection was conducted from April to May 2026, focusing on the effects of fertilizer prices. The general desert locust situation remained calm across breeding regions in September, with no locusts reported in Algeria and Tunisia.

The high cost of fertilizers is likely to affect agricultural production and food security. Funding for humanitarian operations remains significantly below requirements.

The country continues to face significant displacement, with over 1.2 million internally displaced persons and more than 860,000 refugees. The high INFORM risk class indicates severe humanitarian needs.

The specific impact of fertilizer prices on food security outcomes and the number of people affected are not yet covered in recent reporting.
