Content_paragraphs:  Food insecurity remains a major challenge. On 6 April, the nineteenth cycle of 
  
  the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification survey revealed that 27.3 million 
  
  Congolese citizens, 50.8 per cent of whom are women, are experiencing high levels 
  
  of acute food insecurity and require urgent aid, compared with 15.6 million people in 
  
  January 2020. Of those 27.3 million people, 6.7 million are food insecure at 
  
  emergency level (level 4). The increase in the number of people in a situation of acute 
  
  food insecurity is partly attributable to the survey’s improved coverage of urban areas.
