Drought |
Tuvalu |
The national EARWatch, suggests the climate outlook for next three months is forecasting normal rainfall, however the regional RCRC EARWatch indicates Tuvalu is in ‘Dry Warning’ as rainfall for the last three months is in the lowest 25% of the historical record. The likelihood of proceeding to seriously or severely dry conditions in the coming months is increased and suggests preparedness and early actions are advisable given the past and future seasonal data. Tuvalu’s reliability almost solely on rainwater for consumption indicates that continued monitoring and data collection would be of high value, as the situation can deteriorate rapidly.
From Tuvalu Met Services EARWatch: ‘During the month of June, Nanumea, Funafuti and Niulakita was at drought, Nui was at drought warning. Tuvalu National Drought Committee (DC) was activated on 5 July and outcome was to meet weekly to provide updates on both thresholds (rainfall received, government water reserves). |

Drought |
Iraq |
Iraq is frequently at odds with regional neighbours over water issues. The country depends on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers for nearly all of its water. Millions of Iraqis face an intolerably harsh summer, which is causing alarm and creating major water shortages in the country. The rivers, which account for more than 90 per cent of Iraq’s freshwater, were at historically low levels due to a lack of winter rainfall in the region and snowmelt, primarily in the mountains of southern Turkey, which feeds into the rivers. |

Tajikistan |
Conflict in Afghanistan induced displacements (as of 08 August 2021). From 1 January 2021 to 24 July 2021, 389,645 individuals fled their homes due to conflict. A total of 32 out of 34 provinces had recorded some level of forced displacement. Constrained humanitarian access hinders assessments, thus preventing verification of the full extent of displacement and undermining the provision of assistance and services. Displacement affects all individuals differently with needs, vulnerabilities and protection risks evolving over time due to exhaustion of coping mechanisms and only basic emergency assistance provided following initial displacement. Inadequate shelter, food insecurity, insufficient access to sanitation and health facilities, as well as a lack of protection, often result in precarious living conditions that jeopardies the well-being and dignity of affected families. |

Drought |
Kenya |
The food security situation has been on a worsening trend in the Arid and Semi-Arid (ASAL) counties in Kenya attributed mainly to the poor performance of the October-November-December 2020 short rains and the March-April-May 2021 long rains. Both seasons were characterized by late onsets, below average cumulative quantities, and poor distribution both in time and space. This has resulted in worsening drought conditions manifested in poor vegetation conditions, increased distances to water sites in 78% of ASAL counties, worsening livestock body conditions and reduced milk production in 9% and 61% ASAL counties respectively (NDMA Bulletins, May 2021).
According to NDMA drought bulletin for July 2021, twelve (12) counties of Marsabit, Mandera, Garissa, Wajir, Kilifi, Tana River, Lamu, Samburu, Kitui, Lamu, Isiolo and Laikipia are in the alert drought phase, while eleven (11) counties including; Nyeri (Kieni), West Pokot, Baringo, Embu, Kajiado, Kwale, Meru, Narok, Taita Taveta, Tharaka Nithi, and Makueni are in Normal drought phase.

Other,Cameroon: Cameroon enters 2026 amid a deepening and
persistent food security crisis fuelled by a
multitude of drivers. According to the World
Food Program3
, 3.3 million people are currently
affected by food insecurity. This deterioration is
driven by the long-combined effects of climatic
shocks, conflict, displacement, market
disruption, and rising food prices, as well as the
collapse of purchasing power, high debt, and
widespread reliance on negative coping
strategies. Markets remain functional, but
households cannot afford food.
