Synopsis (short abstract) The number of woredas (districts) requiring urgent humanitarian response has returned to levels not seen since the height of El Niño drought impacts in 2016, and have increased in terms of total number affected and those classified as Priority 1. Of the 461 current hotspots, nearly half (228) are considered top priority. From December 2016 to June 2017, the status of 102 woredas worsened while just 34 improved. To prevent further deterioration in the food security situation, emergency livelihood support will remain critical through the rest of the year to protect remaining livestock assets and safeguard agricultural production.
