FOOD SECURITY OVERVIEW
Conflict, inflation, disease outbreaks and poor access to nutritious diets and safe water continue to impact the state of food security and nutrition in Eastern Africa.
As of the end of September 2023, 62.6 million people were food insecure; four out of nine countries in the Region are among the most severe global food crises (Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan).
Some 18.2 million people are displaced internally or abroad, including 5 million refugees and asylum seekers and 13.2 million IDPs. Since the conflict started in Sudan, more than 4 million people have been displaced internally and more than 1 million people have moved across borders.
