Between April and July 2026, an estimated 2.6 million people in Ecuador are expected to face high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above), representing a slight deterioration compared with the December 2025 to March 2026 period. Of this total, approximately 2.5 million people are projected to be facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3) conditions and around 95,000 people are expected to be facing Emergency (IPC Phase 4) conditions, requiring urgent assistance. The analysis includes both the resident population and migrant population (of Venezuelan nationality), who face higher levels of vulnerability.
