ESTIMATED FOOD INSECURE POPULATION IN DROUGHT AFFECTED DISTRICTS
• Out of 26 drought affected districts notified by PMD in June, 2021, this IPC analysis covers 15 districts (8 out
of 9 in Sindh and 7 out of 9 in Balochistan).
• Around 2.74 million people (23% of the rural population) are estimated to be in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis) and 4
(Emergency) of which 2.02 million are in Phase 3 (Crisis) and 0.72 million are Phase 4 (Emergency) in the
current period (October 2021-March 2022) in the 15 drought affected districts focused in this IPC analysis.
• 2.16 million people in 8 drought notified districts in Sindh (Badin, Dadu, Mirpur Khas, Sanghar, Sujawal,
Tharparkar, Thatta, and Umerkot) and 0.59 million people in 7 notified districts in Balochistan (Chagai, Kech,
Kharan, Nushki, Panjgur, Pishin, and Washuk) are in IPC Phase 3 and Phase 4.
• 3 districts are classified in IPC Phase 2 (Stressed) and remaining 12 districts are classified in IPC Phase 3
(Crisis).
• Gradual improvement in drought conditions since June 2021 due to multiple spells of rainfall, particularly in
Sindh.
In November 2021, only 5 districts of Balochistan (Chagai, Kech, Kharan, Panjgur and Washuk) were under
moderate while 3 (Awaran, Kalat and Quetta) under mild drought conditions, as per PMD.
• In Sindh, due to the persistent rains in previous months, drought conditions have become normal.View entire presentation
