Erratic rainfall and the aftereffects of an earthquake continue to negatively affect livelihoods.

Key concerns

Crisis (IPC Phase 3) food insecurity outcomes are anticipated to persist in La Guajira and Chocó through January 2027 due to deepening rainfall and soil moisture deficits. Humanitarian funding remains well below requirements.
