HIGHLIGHTS
Malawi launched Response Plans to address increasing food insecurity.
The Response Plan is requesting $102 million of which $41 million have been sourced, leaving a shortfall of $61 million.
The number of people with missing food entitlements stands at 1.97 million, an increase of 21% from the June MVAC Report.
This situation is compounded by the devaluation of the kwacha and the increasing price of fuel and maize.
Expected humanitarian consequences include changes in food consumption patterns, increased malnutrition and negative coping strategies.
