- Heightened food insecurity among internally displaced (IDP) households continues to persist: the dietary diversity has worsened since September; food consumption of those living in camps has further deteriorated; and nearly one third of all IDPs reported resorting to negative food-based coping strategies.
- In October, food security indicators for households in Duhok were worse than the national average: one out of every ten households reported facing inadequate consumption and 17 percent resorted to using negative food-based coping. As the governorate hosts the third highest number of IDPs (13%), the situation will have to be closely monitored in the coming winter months.
- The use of negative food-based coping remained above-average In Ninewa, a trend seen since March.
- In Anbar, mVAM market data shows an overall trend of increasing food prices. In October, the average cost of a standard food basket increased by 10 percent from September, and was notably high in conflict-affected districts of Alkhaliydyah, Fulluja, Haditha and Ramadi.
- Heavy rains in late October caused flooding in central governorates, likely damaging some of the recently harvested wheat crop supplies and disrupting autumn fieldwork and wheatplanting activities.
