    <subfield code="a">&lt;p&gt;A cross sectional study was cond ucted with the object ive of assessing health&lt;br&gt;

communities whi ch are in food crisis. The study cons isted of a household su rvey&lt;br&gt;
(n=53 I househo lds), Focus Group Oiscuss ions( N=IO grou ps) and an individ ual indepth&lt;br&gt;
interv iew of government officia ls ( n = 9) th rough which quantitative and&lt;br&gt;

members reported be ing ill, out of which only 122 (16.3%) sought western-style&lt;br&gt;
medical care. The ma in reason (72.7% of the responses) for not seeking med ical ca re&lt;br&gt;
was lack of money to cover the medical cost and/or for transportation and&lt;br&gt;
accommodation. Most households had not recovered from the past famines&amp;#39; economic&lt;br&gt;
shock, due to the recurrent nature of food prod uction fai lure. The an nual per capita&lt;br&gt;
