Yemen - mVAM Bulletin #3: More frequent use of negative coping strategies in Yemen, October 2015
  • In October respondent households in Yemen are using more frequently food related negative coping strategies. Both food consumption and coping indicators are worse in Al Baydah and Al Hudaydah.
  • Food security indicators are the poorest in conflict-affected governorates of the north-west (Hajjah, Al Jawf) and the centre-south (Dhamar, Ibb, Raymah).
  • Perceptions of food insecurity have escalated, in tandem with concerns over shortages of cooking gas, which continue to be reported in the conflict-affected governorates of Marib, Al Bayda, Sana’a and Al Hudaydah.
  • Insecurity and high production costs are expected to impact the October sorghum harvest.
