vulnerable groups with the highest global acute malnutrition (GAM). The alarming high rate of malnutrition among IDPs can be attributed to various complex set of factors and causes that may include: poor housing conditions, poor environmental sanitation, limited awareness on health, nutrition and sanitation issues, inadequate food intake, lack of access to adequate health services, lack of access to clean water, proper sanitation service, poverty, etc. According to a brief paper of Feinstein international center of Tufts University, USA, the prevalence rates of global acute malnutrition (GAM)regularly exceed the emergency threshold of >15 percent of children with acute malnutrition in many countries in emergency situation such as Somalia, despite ongoing humanitarian interventions1 IDPs in the NEZ of Somalia are among those groups with persisted critical acute malnutrition in recent years, where the GAM rate is mostly higher than the emergency threshold of 15 percent. Despite different humanitarian interventions on health, nutrition, food security and sanitation, there is no tangible improvement

  • Somalia Are Significantly Different, the Profile in Terms of Motivations for Flight and Movement Are Very Similar
    Regional mixed migration summary for October 2011 Country Activities, data and analysis The October New Arrivals: Drawing on data compiled by the UNHCR and partners, the Yemen indications are that in October the number of Somali arriving in Yemen was 3,689 while that of the non-Somali migrants was 8,856. The monthly total was 12,545. (Comprehensive data Record high: This monthly total is the highest recorded in six years of data collection, and provided at the Yemen is more than double the figures of new arrivals (NA) in October 2010. MMTF webiste: www.mmyemen.org) Changing proportions: The trend in terms of proportions,in October, were that 29% of NA are of Somali origin while 71% were non-Somali (Ethiopian). In October 2009 and 2010 the proportion of Ethiopians were approximately 55% and in 2009 they were just 43% of the monthly total of new arrivals. Red Sea arrivals: Of the total 215 recorded boat crossings to Yemen in October, 73% of the vessels (156 ) disembarked passengers along the Red Sea coast and 27% along the Arabian Sea coast. Again this is the highest monthly proportion arriving on the Red Sea coast. It may be presumed that all 156 boats left from Djibouti’s Obok area. This suggests that, at least, on average, over 5 boats leave every day from Djibouti alone. Average passenger levels: In October those boats involved in transporting people from Somaliland, Puntland and Djibouti to Yemen carried 58 passengers each, on average. New arrivals versus registration: Of the 12,545 new arrivals in Yemen in October just 38% registered with the UNHCR as asylum-seekers/ refugees.
