Emergency control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease of livestock in Sri Lanka The drought in Sri Lanka has exacerbated foot and mouth disease (FMD) in livestock.  Nearly 20,000 cases of FMD were reported within 6 months and more than 2.2 million animals are at risk.  Food insecure households who depend on livestock are severely affected by FMD and subsequent government restrictions on livestock trade and movement.  Over three months, FAO proposes to vaccinate 200,000 livestock in 6 of the most food insecure districts and where government coverage of vaccines for FMD has been low.  The response would benefit around 150,000 food insecure people.  FAO is working closely with WFP who will be providing general food distribution rations to the most food insecure households in the same target districts.
