This bulletin provides the latest update on the food security situation in 47
districts, which are covered by the Nepal Food Security Monitoring System
(NekSAP). WFP estimates that the winter drought has added approximately 700,000 to the 2.7 million people who were already identified as needing immediate assistance due to the impact of high food prices and previous natural
disasters. This brings the total number of food insecure people to 3.4 million
people. The traditional lean season should be coming to an end with the harvesting of the maize crop. However, as the expected maize crop is poor, the food security outlook in many parts of the country is expected to remain dismal or decrease further due to the poor maize harvest.
