According to the UN’s WFP, Cyclone Freddy has led to increased food insecurity in Malawi, with food prices in the worst-affected areas increasing fourfold. Almost four mln people were already classified as food insecure before the cyclone hit, and the flooding affected 320,000 hectares of land, including 117,000 hectares of farmland. Cyclone Freddy has also resulted in over 500 deaths, and 350 people are still missing.
