HungerHotspots

Countries/territories with Famine or Risk of Famine, with populations already in Catastrophe (IPC/CH Phase 5); and hotspots at risk of deterioration towards catastrophic conditions, i.e. where an extremely vulnerable population in Emergency (IPC/CH Phase 4) is facing severely worsening contextual drivers and access constraints, which indicate the possibility of a further deterioration and possible occurrence of catastrophic conditions in the outlook period.

Countries/territories where sizeable populations – over 500 000 people or more than 10 percent of the population analysed (when at least 50 percent of the population have been analysed) – are estimated or projected to be at Emergency levels of acute food insecurity (IPC/CH Phase 4) or are identified as severely acute food insecure as per the WFP CARI methodology; the number of people in Emergency (IPC/CH Phase 4) or severely acute food insecure (based on WFP’s CARI methodology) is expected to increase during the outlook period as based on latest data available; and contextual drivers are likely to further deteriorate.

Countries/territories, in which acute food insecurity is likely to deteriorate further during the outlook period, and which were identified as hunger hotspots.
