Understanding the Need
Understanding Food Insecurity
Food insecurity occurs when individuals lack consistent access to enough nutritious food for an active, healthy life. It is often exacerbated during emergencies, where resources are stretched thin, and the most vulnerable bear the brunt of the impact.
Causes of Food Insecurity in Emergencies
Natural Disasters: Typhoons, earthquakes, and floods disrupt food supply chains.
Economic Crises: Unemployment and inflation limit purchasing power.
Conflict and Displacement: War and violence force families to flee, often leaving behind their livelihoods.
Pandemics: Public health crises like COVID-19 exacerbate food shortages and financial instability.
