Key points
Over 47% of households in northeast Nigeria have inadequate food consumption in June. This marks an eight percentage point increase compared to last year and a seven percentage point increase compared to the start of the lean season.
IDPs and returnees show significantly higher levels of deprivation and vulnerability in terms of food consumption, coping, nonmonetary poverty and food stock levels. Especially IDPs residing in camps or informal settlements.
In June, 33% of cultivating households have some food stocks remaining. This marks a one point decrease compared to same time last year. However, only 20% have stocks that will last longer than a month. Food consumption is therefore expected to worsen rapidly over the coming months.
