The combination of below-average rainfall and unusually high temperatures has resulted in deteriorating vegetation conditions, crop failures, and worsening food insecurity. With approximately 20 million people residing in the affected areas, the crisis is exacerbated by past extreme weather events including Tropical Storm Filipo and Cyclone Freddy. The southern and central regions have been hit hardest, receiving less than half of their typical rainfall between October 2023 and February 2024.
