The resurgence of insecurity in Liptako Gourma, particularly in Ménaka and southern Gao, continues to disrupt economic activities, the flow of supplies to markets, the delivery of humanitarian food assistance, and access to essential social services. As a result, the decline in income opportunities and the atypical displacement of populations are causing a sharp deterioration in livelihoods, reducing the ability of households to meet their food and non-food needs.

However, insecurity has hindered access to particular markets in the north and central parts of the country. As a result, prices in urban and pastoral areas remain 40 percent higher than the five-year average, negatively affecting poor households' access to food.
