Hotspot legend
Hotspot of highest concern
This category includes hotspots already with populations in Catastrophe (IPC/CH Phase 5), as well as hotspots at risk of deterioration towards catastrophic conditions. At risk are those hotspots where an extremely vulnerable population in Emergency (IPC/CH Phase 4) is facing severe aggravating factors – especially access constraints – that indicate a further deterioration and possible occurrence of Catastrophic conditions in the outlook period. Per definition, this category also includes hotspots with Famine or Risk of Famine.
Hotspot of very high concern
These are hotspots with sizeable populations – over 500 000 people – estimated or projected to be in Emergency (IPC/CH Phase 4) levels of acute food insecurity or identified as severely food insecure as per WFP’s CARI or rCARI methodology; or hotspots with more than 10 percent of the analysed population in Emergency (IPC/CH Phase 4) or severely food insecure, and at least 50 percent of the population analysed. In the included countries, life-threatening conditions are expected to further intensify in the outlook period.
