28 September 2017 KEY MESSAGES
§
Prevailing severe dry weather conditions since October 2016 affected rangelands and crops in southeastern Ethiopia, resulting in serious deterioration
of food security conditions.
§
A major area of concern is the Somali Region, where an estimated 2.3 million people require emergency livelihood and food assistance.
§
The critical food security situation reflects a sharply-reduced availability of food, pasture and water, particularly in southern and southeastern pastoral
districts.
§
The incoming October-December rains are forecast at below-average levels, potentially resulting in the third consecutive poor rainy season.
§
Recurrent climate-related shocks have undermined household resilience, and urgent support to agricultural livelihoods is needed. |
