- The improvements in food security witnessed during the month of Ramadan ended in August. A slight increase in the share of the population consuming an ‘inadequate’ diet was observed throughout Iraq. This was particularly true for the internally displaced (IDP) respondents as well as in Anbar governorate, where it appears that approximately one in five households are consuming an inadequate diet.
- Wheat prices were 30-50 percent higher in the conflict affected governorates of the north compared to Baghdad due to reduced PDS deliveries and supply disruptions.
- The average cost of a basic food basket in Anbar Governorate increased by 12 percent after declining for four consecutive months, while in besieged Haditha district, the cost was four times higher than that recorded for all of Anbar.
