  • Galmudug State Idp Camps Rapid Wash Assessment Report
    GALMUDUG STATE IDP CAMPS RAPID WASH ASSESSMENT REPORT Host community in Qaradhi village, Adado District fetching water from stagnant pool of water in the water source. 5TH – 9TH MAY 2018 Galmudug State Rapid WASH Assessment Report (@2018, CPD) 1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Through the WASH Cluster, CPD as the lead agency organized rapid WASH assessment with SCI, IRC, SSWC and the regional Local Authority (Galmudug Disaster Management Agency) between 5th to 9th May 2018 in Galmudug State. Following the recent floods in Somalia, a number of IDPs were affected and displaced which were at risk to poor hygiene and sanitation if not intervened timely. The assessment was planned after extensive discussion with the WASH cluster partners through the regional WASH cluster meeting held on 29th April 2018 at CPD hall in Adado District. 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. The Assessment was carried out in 24 different IDP camps in Abudwak, Adado and Dhusamareb District IDP Camps, Galmudug State.

    DROUGHT June - December 2019 RESPONSE PLAN ISSUED 20 May 2019 SOMALIA Photo: WFP Somalia DROUGHT RESPONSE PLAN JUNE - DECEMBER 2019 PEOPLE TARGETED REQUESTED (US$) OPERATIONAL PARTNERS 4.5M 710.5M 235 Situation Overview Two years after the prolonged 2016/2017 drought destroyed livelihoods and displaced almost one million Somalis - but also triggered a massive and successful scale up in humanitarian response to avert famine - severe climatic conditions, combined with other persistent drivers of humani- tarian crisis, armed conflict, protracted and continued displacement and a spike in evictions of internally displaced persons are again pushing Somalia towards a major humanitarian emergency. The combined impact of the initial, and potentially complete, failure of the 2019 Gu’ rains (April-June), which followed a poor 2018 Deyr season (October-December), and abnormally hot, dry conditions during the 2019 Jilaal season (January-March) has caused widespread crop failure and accelerated decline in livestock productivity, rapidly pushing communities in the worst-affected areas into food insecurity crisis phase, or worse. The signs of crisis, such as irregular pastoral migration coupled with deteriorating livestock body conditions and reduction in milk production, increased displacement due to drought and increases in drought-related disease, are already widely observed. Out of 5.4 million expected to be acutely food insecure by July, 2.2 million will be in severe acute food insecurity conditions (IPC 3 and above), a 40 per cent increase from

  • United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia Unsom
    UNITED NATIONS NATIONS UNIES UNITED NATIONS ASSISTANCE MISSION IN SOMALIA UNSOM Briefing to the Security Council by Ambassador Nicholas Kay, Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for Somalia 11 March 2014 [AS DELIVERED] Madam President, Members of the Council, Thank you for giving me the opportunity to brief the Council from Mogadishu today and for your continued support to Somalia’s peace-building and state-building. I am on the ground in Mogadishu and not with you in New York due to the intensity of events at this moment. I hope you understand. Madam President The best hope for peace and stability in Somalia, the Horn of Africa and beyond remains a united, secure and federal Somalia. This is achievable. Somalia can reach its goal of an agreed constitution, a nation-wide electoral process and increased security by 2016. But times are tough, and in the short term may get tougher. Insecurity in Mogadishu poses challenges for Somalis, the UN and the international community. 2014 is a crucial year. It is marked, I would say, by security and political challenges, which will be overcome if the Federal Government of Somalia and international partners remain united and if both accelerate delivery of their mutual commitments. Madam President As I speak, an expanded AMISOM and the Somali National Army (SNA) are prosecuting a renewed offensive against Al Shabaab, made possible by UN Security Council Resolution 2124. It will be the most significant and geographically extensive military advance since AMISOM started, and there have already been notable successes. I pay tribute to the commitment and sacrifices made by AMISOM and its police and troop contributing states.
