Yemen - mVAM Bulletin #7: Food insecurity of internally displaced households is worst on record, February 2016
  • As conflict continues, the food security situation has deteriorated at the national level since January. Food consumption has worsened in Al Dhale and households in Al Baydah are employing more negative food-related coping strategies.
  • Internally displaced (IDP) households have the worst food security outcomes on record. A very high proportion of IDPs have resorted to negative food-related coping strategies such as limiting food consumption/portion size at meal times, borrowing food or relying on help from family/friends.
  • Trend data shows that households headed by women tend to have a more fragile and unstable food security status than those headed by men.
