Global Hunger Response Situation Update - August 2023

This is the 12th situation report released by the Global Hunger Response (GHR) which provides a detailed overview of our qualitative and quantitative impacts, including regional situational overviews and highlights, through the end of July 2023.

A complex interplay of factors, including economic stressors, climate shocks, displacement, and natural disasters continue converging and heightening levels of food and nutrition insecurity, and in some cases, even exacerbating existing conflicts.

Notably, people's ability to meet their basic needs has been severely compromised, and their overall resilience weakened.  Without urgent intervention, nine countries (up from seven in May and five in January 2023) either already have populations in IPC 5 or are at risk of their contexts deteriorating into this condition by November 2023.
