It demonstrates that forced displacement resulted in an immediate but temporary decline in food access. Pre- and post-displacement food access outcomes were indistinguishable within four months of displacement and, for later months, there were no economically large declines in food access. The quick rebound is partially explained by an increase in assistance to displaced households that had worse food access prior to displacement. Households that were slightly better off prior to displacement did not receive an increase in assistance. These are the first estimates that directly address how non-security dimensions of well-being change immediately following forced displacement and demonstrate that, in some contexts, forcibly displaced households are more resilient than is typically assumed. 2022-09-15T17:32:11Z 2022-09-15T17:32:11Z 2022-09 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/099228509142271581/IDU06b83849103d96047d7099b50e8296ce0c477 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/38021 English en Policy Research Working Paper;10176 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Middle East and North Africa Yemen, Republic of
