On 1 June, the Government of Chad issued a decree declaring a food and nutrition emergency, in light of the country s severe current food insecurity and malnutrition situation. At least 2.1 million people will be severely food insecure during the lean season from June to September, the worst in 10 years, while 1.3 million children suffer from acute malnutrition. The crisis is driven by a combination of insecurity, deep poverty, erratic rainfall, record-high food prices and a deteriorating economic situation. The Government has developed an emergency response plan, requiring $150 million for the lean season. In anticipation of the lean season and considering the low level of humanitarian funding (currently only 16 per cent of requirements), $8 million was allocated in May from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund. This will help humanitarian actors provide food and nutritional assistance in the most affected provinces and nutrition services in areas of high nutritional vulnerability
