Food Security Alert: Far-and Mid-West Hills and Mountains consists of the following highlights: 1)The food security situation for many communities living in the Mid-and Far-West is very worrying. 2)More than 300,000 people in Achham Bajura, Dailekh, Dolpa, Humla, Jajarkot, Kailkot, Mugu and Rukum are facing precarious food situation due to significant localized crop failures of between 20-70%. 3)For many of the affected, this is fifth consecutive season of significantly poor crop yields, leaving many with few coping mechanisms as they enter the traditional three –month lean period. 4)The high cost of food items could quickly plunge affected families into severe food insecurity as their cash resources will be too small to purchase the food they need.
