Household food security shows improvement following integrated response framework interventions.

Key developments

An integrated response framework implemented in June 2026 has led to notable improvements in household food security. The proportion of households with an acceptable food consumption score increased significantly, while those experiencing poor food consumption decreased.

Key concerns

Despite some improvements, humanitarian funding remains well below requirements, potentially impacting the sustainability and reach of aid efforts. The country continues to face a very high INFORM risk classification, indicating persistent vulnerabilities.

Humanitarian impact

Households have experienced a positive shift in hunger levels and food consumption, with a substantial reduction in the number of households reporting poor food consumption. The country also hosts a significant number of internally displaced persons.

Information gaps

The specific geographic areas where these improvements were observed are not detailed. Information on the health and nutrition status of the affected population, beyond food consumption, is also not covered.
