- Severe dryness during the whole month of October in the main cereal-producing areas negatively impacted the establishment and development of “deyr” crops, expected to be harvested in January 2018.
- The dismal performance of the rainy season has exacerbated water and pasture shortages in pastoral areas, already affected by three consecutive poor rainy seasons.
- With an already dire food security situation, a continued and effective provision of livelihood support and food assistance is needed to prevent famine outcomes.
