Food Security in Iraq - Impact of Covid-19 - April-June 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic continues across the world, and in Iraq, the number of cases is rising. As of 30 June 2020, the World Health Organization reported 49,109 cases in Iraq, with 1,943 fatalities. Since March, the government has been enforcing movement restrictions and curfews to help slow transmission of the virus. As the livelihoods of many people have been affected as they are unable to work, humanitarian, social protection, and development responses have also stepped up, both from the government and supporting partners.
