- Emergency food security conditions currently prevail in conflict affected governorates. According to mVAM data, roughly 20% of the population (5-6 million people) are severely food insecure, while another 20% (5-6 million people) are moderately food insecure. These findings broadly corroborate with the latest 2015 Integrated food security Phase Classification (IPC) figures.
- Food insecurity is most severe for the country’s 1.3 million internally displaced people.
- Scarcity of the imported foods, and livelihood disruption, are restricting the population's ability to access food. Acute water shortages are also having severe impacts on food security.
- The accumulation of risks — including continuing conflict, displacement, supply chain disruption and limited humanitarian access — indicates that food insecurity levels will likely increase in coming months.
