AMMAN — Around 0.5 per cent of the Kingdom’s families are food insecure, while the food security of 5.7 per cent is between fragile and lacking, according to a Department of Statistics’ (DoS) survey whose results were announced on Wednesday by DoS Director General Qasim Zu’b.
The highest rate of food insecure families was registered in Maan and Karak (0.9 per cent), while Aqaba did not record any family that suffers food insecurity, the survey showed. DoS implemented the survey between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014, covering 24,000 families across the Kingdom, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
