What happened
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) have appealed for more than $200 million in funding. This support is intended to protect 8.8 million people across 22 high-risk countries from the looming return of the destructive El Niño weather pattern.

Why it matters
The appeal seeks funds to implement various support measures, including cash transfers, climate-resilient seeds, and livestock protection. The appeal comes as the El Niño conditions, a naturally occurring warming of sea surface temperatures, are forecast to strengthen rapidly in the tropical Pacific.
