Madagascar is currently experiencing extreme food shortages and rising prices caused by the economic impact of COVID-19 and seasonal drought. At present, 1.5 million people in the region, approximately half the population, are unable to find enough food to eat. Our local teams have reported people resorting to eating clay and even tamarind paste mixed with ash to stave off hunger. Exacerbated by high poverty levels in the region, women and children face heightened vulnerability to hunger, contributing to life-threatening surges in the incidence of malnutrition. 👪 SEED is responding to this crisis through the implementation of an Emergency Food Distribution project. We are working with rural health clinics across 41 high-risk villages in the southern region of the country to distribute emergency food supplies such as rice, beans, and cooking oil. We are also supplying specialist nutritional food to families with children suffering from moderate and severe malnutrition.
