Resumen
Descripción
Iraq has been plunged into a renewed precarious humanitarian situation with the current escalation of armed conflict. Already the long years of instability have led to protracted humanitarian crises and significant deterioration of both accessibility and the quality of essential services. Although some gains were registered in the last several years in containing food deprivation, civil insecurity, disruptions of markets, limited income and lack of access to sufficient food continue to be the ma in causes of food insecurity in Iraq. The Public Distribution System (PDS) remains the main source of food for the poorest Iraqis although the rate of dependency was reported to have decreased from 67 percent in 2007 to 57 percent in 2011.
