| Ethiopia: Humanitarian Bulletin - Weekly Humanitarian Highlights in Ethiopia, 12 December 2011 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 13:14:01 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Ethiopia, Somalia Food Security Update The latest FEWS NET food security outlook indicates that food security conditions have stabilized in most drought-affected parts of Ethiopia. This is a result of the start of the meher (October-February) harvest, which has led to better supply and declining prices of staple food in markets; the good performance of the October to December rains in lowland areas, which has improved water and pasture for pastoralists and their livestock; and ongoing humanitarian assistance. Through the end of the year, the southern and south-eastern lowlands of Somali, Oromia and SNNPR and northern Afar are expected to see ?crisis? level conditions according to the classification scale used by FEWS NET and WFP. Earlier in the year, the same parts of the country were classified at ?emergency? levels. Areas in the southern and eastern-central highlands earlier classified as experiencing ?crisis? conditions are similarly expected to see improvement to ?stressed? conditions. According to the same report, food security is likely to deteriorate once again in some areas between January and March 2012. In the predominantly belg-producing zones of Amhara, Tigray and Oromia, as well as in SNNPR, conditions will deteriorate as the limited meher production is consumed and food prices start to rise once again. The food security situation is also expected to deteriorate in some of the southernmost predominantly pastoralist zones of Oromia and Somali regions, due to the onset of the next dry season (December-March).
