The consistent drought cycles have heavily impacted negatively on the community?s coping mechanism, with reports over the last few months documenting a progressive deterioration of the food security situation. The weather conditions over the last two seasons have not been favourable to support rain-fed agriculture practiced by the local people. Consequently, food production and access to food is diminishing and huge food gaps in households is being experienced. According to various reports, the situation is expected to continue deteriorating and not likely to improve until the next harvests are realized. An assessment conducted by the Sudanese Red Crescent Society and its partners in January 2012 confirmed that at least 257,197 people (51,440 households on the basis of five members per family) in the Red Sea state are food insecure and in need of immediate food aid.   VW-2012-000048-JPN Violent Wind Japan Due to strong gusts and rain that hit all over Japan 3 were killed and 304 were injured on 3 April 2012.  ST-2012-000047-LKA SEVERE LOCAL STORM Sri Lanka On 31 Mar 2012, a tornado accompanied by heavy winds, rain and hail hit zone 1 of Menik Farm, an IDP camp in Northern Sri Lanka.

Overall crop production is estimated to drop by 62% compared to 2010 and by 50% compared to the 5-year in average. Compared to last year, particularly affected is the production of key food and cash crops such as rice (-74%), millet (-54%) and groundnut (-64%). This reduces the availability and access of food at household level, thereby increasing the lean period from the normal two month period up to 8 months according to the post harvest assessment report. Of the 39 rural districts affected, 19 are considered the hardest hit by crop failure with a total population of 428,000, including 73,802 children under the age of 5. 177,000 of the hardest hit are at the borderline meaning they have already started using some coping mechanisms such as reducing number of meals from 3 to 1 meal per day and/or sending some members of family to relatives to reduce the burden  EP-2012-000045-VNM Epidemic Viet Nam Viet Nam experienced an unprecedented outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in 2011, and while appropriate and effective action was taken by Viet Nam Red Cross working with the authorities, the country, as a whole, continues to experience a disturbingly high incidence of the disease.
