abstract: 'Background Food insecurity is a serious social and public health problem
which is exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic especially in
resource-poor countries such as Nepal. However, there is a paucity of
evidence at local levels. This study aims to explore food insecurity
among people from the disadvantaged community and low-income families
during the COVID-19 pandemic in Province-2 of Nepal. Methods The
semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted virtually among
purposively selected participants (n = 41) from both urban and rural
areas in eight districts of Province 2 in Nepal. All the interviews were
conducted in the local language between July and August 2020. The data
analysis was performed using thematic network analysis in Nvivo 12 Pro
software. Results The results of this study are grouped into four global
themes: i) Impact of COVID-19 on food security; ii) Food insecurity and
coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic, iii) Food relief and
emergency support during the COVID-19 pandemic, and iv) Impact of
COVID-19 and food insecurity on health and wellbeing. Most participants
in the study expressed that families from low socioeconomic backgrounds
and disadvantaged communities such as those working on daily wages and
who rely on remittance had experienced increased food insecurity during
the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants used different forms of coping
strategies to meet their food requirements during the pandemic.
Community members experienced favouritism, nepotism, and partiality from
local politicians and authorities during the distribution of food
relief. The food insecurity among low-income and disadvantaged families
has affected their health and wellbeing making them increasingly
vulnerable to the COVID-19 infection. Conclusion Food insecurity among
low-income and disadvantaged families was found to be a serious problem
during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study suggests that the relief support
plan and policies should be focused on the implementation of immediate
sustainable food security strategies to prevent hunger, malnutrition,
and mental health problems among the most vulnerable groups in the
community.'
