prices• Increased food prices and reduced term of trade (labour-maize)• Negative impact of withdrawal of INGO providing health and nutrition services• High morbidity (suspected measles, persistent AWD)• Restricted immunization activity due to insecurity• Poor child feeding practices• Poor access to sanitation facilities and safe water • Reduced milk access due to livestock outmigration and weakened body livestock condition

and production & avoidance of zakat
