7. Ethiopia	276’000		36’000	65’200	377’200	0	det	Somali refugees at high risk to elevated levels of wasting and high CMRs. Those in Fugindo at risk due to water problems.

11. Mozambique Region				154’000	154’000	0	imp	A recent good harvest is likely to help improve household food security.
12. Somalia			840’000		840’000	0	det	Those in Somalia at risk due to continued insecurity, inflation and logistic problems. Some people from Juba valley in Kismayo likely to be at high risk, but numbers are not currently available.

IIb: Mod Risk - Moderate risk, may be data available, pockets of malnutrition may exist.

IIc: Probably not at heightened nutrition risk.

III: Unknown - No information on nutritional status available.

* Indicates status of nutritional situation. Imp = improving; det = deteriorating; stat = static (i.e. no change)

NOTES:

(1) This chart is intended to include major population groups in Africa (i.e. over 100,000 people affected from country of origin).

(2) Boxes on the diagonal (shaded) show internally displaced populations (total = 8.1 million).

(3) Numbers referred to in the text are usually by the country where the population is located (i.e. column totals).

For the regional situations of Burundi/Rwanda and Liberia/Sierra Leone the description is by country of origin (i.e. row totals).
