| dc.description | On 14 May 2023, cyclone Mocha made landfall in Myanmar, accompanied by violent gusts, torrential rainfall and flooding. Mocha caused significant disruption to the lives and livelihoods of more than 40 percent of farming households in Ayeyarwady, Chin, Kachin, Magway and Sagaing, and more than 80 percent in Rakhine. The climate-induced disaster struck some of the most vulnerable rural communities at a time when they were already grappling with a growing food security crisis. In line with Cyclone Mocha Flash Appeal, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) aims to scale up emergency livelihoods support to the most vulnerable rural households in the affected areas. The document provides an overview of the potential impact of Mocha on agriculture and food security as well as FAO's planned response and urgent funding requirements. | |
