Of these cases, 780 cases were reported from Buhodle district in region Togdheer which represents 23.2% of the total cases; Out of 10 stool samples collected from Bardere district, 6 have tested positive for Vibrio Cholerea. A total of 31,764 suspected AWD/ cholera cases and 618 deaths (CFR–1.9%) were recorded from 50 districts across 13 regions since the beginning of 2017. However, the trend of cholera cases recorded in the past 16 weeks has increased significantly compared to the cases reported during the same period last year (refer to epidemic curve below). It is important to note that the current cholera cases were a spill-over from last year’s major cholera outbreak, which recorded Page 1 of 7 15,619 cases and 548 deaths. Last year’s outbreak was one of the largest and longest in which the country has experienced in the last five years. Bay Region: a total of 926 AWD/ cholera cases and 12 deaths were recorded in week 16 and the trend has increased during this reporting period. Banadir Region: a total of 176 AWD/ cholera cases and 4 deaths were recorded across 17 districts in the region and the numbers of reported cases and deaths have slightly increased this week. Lower Shebelle Region: A total of 292 AWD/ cholera cases and 6 deaths were recorded in week 16, Middle Shebelle: a total of 71 AWD/ cholera cases and 1deaths were recorded during this reporting period. Lower Jubba: A total of 72 AWD/ cholera cases and 1 death were recorded in week 16 Bakool Region: 175 AWD/ cholera cases and 12 deaths were recorded in week 16.

There are cholera alerts reported from Galgadud and Middle Juba, Togdheer region and other inaccessible areas, and the verification of these alerts is becoming a major challenge due to security. The severe draught and its consequence (water scarcity, food insecurity and malnutrition) are major contributing factors to the ongoing cholera outbreak which has spread to 13 regions across the country. More AWD/ cholera cases were recorded among displaced people due to drought living in IDP camps in Baidao, Banadir, Galkayo, Bossaso and other locations. The preparation of another upsurge of cholera outbreak along the main rivers are ongoing since the rainy season is about to begin and major floods are expected. Active transmission of AWD/ cholera is still going in all districts in Banadir region, but Hodan. Daynile, Dharkeynlay and Wadajir recorded the highest number of AWD/ cholera cases. Table 1.

This assessment would not have been possible without the generous support of the WASH partner organizations mentioned above who supported questionnaire data collection in Abudwak, Adado and Dhusamareb Districts of Galmudug State, Somalia. The GU seasonal rain started with heavy rains flooding most in middle and lower shabelle but it has not spared the IDPs in Galmudug State affecting 3,315 Households in Abudwak, Adado and Dhusamareb District IDP Camps as well. These people affected by the floods are mostly the IDPs and some Host communities’ homestead leaving stagnant around their homes and leaving massive flood around their water sources leaving stagnant water in all the area and destroying latrines and the IDPs temporary shelters.

  • CERF Reporting Template
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE RESIDENT/HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR ON THE USE OF CERF GRANTS Country Somalia Resident/ Humanitarian Coordinator Mark Bowden Reporting Period January – December 2008 I. Executive Summary The humanitarian situation in Somalia, one of the least developed countries in the world, deteriorated considerably during the reporting period due to the combination of soaring food prices, a significantly devalued Somali shilling, worsening security conditions, and a deepening drought following multiple abnormally harsh dry seasons and a poor seasonal rains in 2008. Meanwhile, the civil strife brought the country to the levels of insecurity and limited access to a degree unseen since the height of the conflict at the beginning of the nineties. Since Somalia is a traditional importer of food, importing roughly 60 percent of the country’s food needs, it was particularly badly affected by soaring food prices. The prices of both imported and locally produced food items increased up to 700 percent during the year as the Somali Shilling decreased in value by some 125 percent. In 2008, the Somalia Food Security and Analysis Unit (FSAU), which provides the guiding common assessment for humanitarian partners in Somalia, reported that, for the first time, an estimated 600,000 urban poor living in main towns and rural settlements were facing conditions of Acute Food and Livelihood Crisis (AFLC) and Humanitarian Emergency (HE), as they struggled to cope with sky-rocketing food and basic commodity prices. As a result, the estimated number of people in need of assistance reached 3.2 million, an increase of more than 80 percent since January 2008 (up from 1.8 million).
