Yemen - mVAM Bulletin #6: IDPs continue using more coping strategies, January 2016
  • Internally displaced households continue to employ more frequent and severe negative coping strategies than non-displaced households –a disturbing trend observed since August 2015.
  • The food security situation remains stressed in most conflict-affected governorates. In Al Jawf, Taizz, Al Bayda and Raymah one in every three households reported having ‘poor’ food consumption in January.
  • Negative food–related coping remains high at the national level. Nearly 60 percent of respondents reported limiting portion sizes and consuming less expensive foods.
  • The overall perception of food security across the country remains negative; the need for food assistance was one of the main concerns among respondents in January.
