The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification
@theipcinfo
The IPC provides #foodsecurity & #nutrition analyses for decision-making in over 30 countries facing food crises. A global partnership of 19 organizations. www.ipcinfo.org
#Gaza Strip The Oct 2025 ceasefire has led to measurable gains in humanitarian access & conditions across the Gaza Strip, yet the situation remains deeply fragile. 1.4 million people are facing high levels of acute food insecurity through Dec 2026. More: www.ipcinfo.org/ipcinfo-webs...
#Gaza Strip nutrition situation Acute malnutrition among children has declined significantly, driven by scaled-up nutrition programmes, but 74,200 children under five and 24,600 pregnant and breastfeeding women are still expected to suffer acute malnutrition through April 2027.
#GazaStrip With widespread loss of productive assets & access constraints, most people remain almost entirely dependent on external assistance. Food security & nutrition gains remain highly fragile: aid coverage has declined since Feb 2026, further reductions could trigger sharp deterioration.
#Djibouti Around 256,000 people—one in four analysed—are likely to face high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above) between July and December 2026, up from 166,000 people in May–June 2026. 📄 Read the full report: www.ipcinfo.org/fileadmin/us...
#Madagascar Lean season and El Niño threaten to push the Grand South in Madagascar into Emergency conditions. Approximately 2.12 million people are likely facing high levels of acute food insecurity between June and September 2026. Read more: www.ipcinfo.org/fileadmin/us...
#Madagascar Between May 2026 and April 2027, around 502,000 children under five are suffering or likely to suffer acute malnutrition. Some 20,800 pregnant and breastfeeding women are also expected to be acutely malnourished in the same period. Read more: www.ipcinfo.org/fileadmin/us...

Tri-National Border Region of Río Lempa The lean season, combined with El Niño conditions in the Central American Dry Corridor, could significantly worsen food insecurity and push 157,000 people into high levels of acute food insecurity (July-October 2026). www.ipcinfo.org/fileadmin/us...
🔵West Africa and the Sahel An estimated 11.3 million children aged 6-59 months are suffering or likely to suffer from acute malnutrition across 5 Sahel and West Africa countries, with conditions expected to deteriorate through the May to Sep lean season. More: www.ipcinfo.org/fileadmin/us...
