Current food security outcomes, January 2014 • An estimated 857,000 people will be in Crisis and Emergency (IPC Phases 3 and 4) requiring urgent humanitarian assistance between February and June 2014. • The food security condition of over two million additional people remains fragile and are currently classified at Stressed (IPC Phase 2).

In these areas, significant asset losses and loss of access to markets, land, and fishing areas has severely reduced access to food. • Levels of acute malnutrition remain Critical (defined as global acute malnutrition (GAM) rates exceeding 15 percent) among rural populations in many parts of South-Central Somalia and among a majority of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
