Food Security Bulletin, Issue 23, May 2009
Abstract:
Highlights: 1. Because of severe winter drought, 700,000 people in the Mid- and Far-Western Hills and Mountains are in need of immediate food assistance in addition to nearly one million people who are currently supported by WFP. 2. The drought resulted in decreased national crop production for wheat and barley of 14.5% and 17.3% respectively; however, crop losses in many Hill and Mountain districts of the Mid- and the Far-West regions were more than 50%. 3. The ongoing WFP food assistance has helped to reduce the severity of household food insecurity in drought-affected communities. Due to the winter drought, however, continuous food assistance will be needed until the next harvest to support the poorest, drought-affected communities in the Mid- and the Far-West regions.

Food Security Bulletin, Issue 23, May 2009
Abstract:
The most affected areas are where wheat and barley play an important role in household food security – essentially in the hills and mountains of the Midland Far-Western Development regions. Severe winter crop losses are exacerbating an already precarious food security situation caused by several years of poor crop harvests, poverty and sustained high food prices, and frequent market supply shortages. Ongoing WFP food assistance in many of these communities under the PRRO (Protracted Relief and Recovery Operations) has provided some relief, but continuous humanitarian assistance will be vital to people struggling to survive until the next harvest. This bulletin provides an update on the food security situation in the 39 districts that are covered by the field surveillance system of the Nepal Food Security Monitoring System (NeKSAP). The classification of the food security status is based upon a set of reference indicators. description of these indicators and the alert level definitions are provided on the last page of this bulletin. Classifications are made by District Food Security Networks which are now set up in 51 districts. The Networks consist of members who represent different organizations related to food security in respective district.
