FOOD SECURITY SNAPSHOT
A slow start to the current secondary "deyr" season (October-December) rains were reported, but some heavy localised rains were observed
Good crop production estimated for the just concluded 2010 main "gu" season.
Improved livestock conditions were also reported
About 2 million people require emergency food assistance until the end of the year compared to 2.65 million during 2010 first semester
Persistent armed conflict is still a major cause of food insecurity
