The figure equals around 25 per cent of Djibouti's population, according to the alert. The source does not identify the specific causes of the projected deterioration.

The warning places a large share of the population in a higher-risk food security category over the coming months. The report was released Friday, with no additional details provided in the source about response measures or affected regions within the country.
