SITUATION REPORT Drought Emergency in Somali and Oromiya Regions, Ethiopia 1 May, 2006 SITUATION REPORT Drought Emergency in Somali and Oromiya Regions, Ethiopia 1 May, 2006 Highlights1 ¾ 1.7 million emergency food beneficiaries in Somali Region and Borena zone, Oromiya; 614,000 people are under close monitoring in both areas. ¾ Additional 64,439 emergency beneficiaries identified in Borena zone, following DPPA-led multi-agency reassessment. ¾ Preliminary results of re-assessment in Afder, Gode and Liben zones in Somali Region indicate increased emergency needs. ¾ Rains have increased in the past week in most areas of Somali Region and Borena zone. Some water tankers have stopped, but continue to monitor the situation. Hygiene and sanitation are a priority. Access is proving an increased logistics challenge. ¾ Measles campaigns were successful in most districts of Somali Region and Borena zone. ¾ More than 1.5 million livestock vaccinated and treated against different diseases; reports from the reassessment missions and regional offices indicate that a large gap remains between livestock health needs and response. 1 The information in this document is consolidated from reports and field information from a variety of sources including UN agencies, NGOs and government partners. Most of the activities reported are taken from task force meetings. Overall Summary: After seven to ten days of a dry spell, the gu/hagaya (belg) rains resumed in Somali Region and southern parts of Oromiya Region. Following the generally good rainfall during the first dekad of April, the second dekad was dry in Somali Region. Since 20 April, the rains have resumed and several woredas report 1-3 days of light to heavy rainfall over the last week, including: Guradamole and Bare woredas of Afder zone, Jijiga town, Warder woreda of Warder zone, Gerbo woreda of Fik Zone, and Gunagado, Degahamedo, and Degahabur woredas in Degehabur zone. Recent reports from Gode indicate that Guradamole, Gorobokoksa, Elkere and Hargele enjoyed good rainfall on 24 April. On 26 April, there was favorable rainfall in Gode town as well as in Mustahil, Ferfer and Kelafo woredas that lasted for about six hours, as well as light showers in Kebridehar and Adadele woredas. There are reports of migration of people (including cross border from Somalia) to areas that received good rains. This posed a serious health threat in the region as measles cases was confirmed among families that had recently migrated to Bare woreda, who had missed the recent vaccination campaigns. Similarly, the rains in Borena resumed on 19 April, improving pasture (especially browse) and water availability. Consequently, water tankering operations are suspended in the zone and attention is shifting to water purification and general hygiene and sanitation activities. Efforts continue in maintenance and rehabilitation of water schemes as longer term solutions, and the procurement of spares and equipments worth US$250,000 has been finalised by UNICEF. While rains were better in northern Somali Region (Jijiga and Shinile zones) for the month of April, rains in Somaliland resulted in floods in Ayisha woreda, Shinile zone. The DPPB and the Hararghe Catholic Services assessed the impact of floods, requesting food and non-food support for the people affected by the flood. Flooding also occurred in Afar Region, where heavy rains in the first week of April resulted in the over-flooding of the Awash River, covering the road between Dubti town and Beyahale kebele. Recent reports indicate that the flooding has receded and the Awash River has returned to its normal levels. According to the DPPA team sent from 2 to 9 April to assess the situation, the flood displaced 7,000 people in four kebeles, for whom Federal Authorities have dispatched food and non-food support. In addition, the Regional Health Bureau, with support from UNICEF, distributed 12,000 Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) to Dubti woreda. Other support has come for emergency activities in Afar, including for water tankering from UNICEF and for livestock health from FAO, in response to the Afar rapid assessment. While overall results from neither of the DPPA led multi-agency reassessment missions to Borena zone and to Afder, Gode, and Liben zones are official, preliminary results indicate that the beneficiary numbers for emergency have increased. For Borena zone, the 64,439 additional emergency beneficiaries identified have been included in the response plans and will begin receiving support. Concern was raised regarding the limited representation of some non-food sectors in the assessment teams and regarding the delay in rapidly disseminating the mission results. Oromiya FSDPPC officially requested the DPPA to organise a reassessment mission to woredas of East Hararghe and East Shoa zones where serious food security problems were reported. In addition, decision is pending on whether 1.1 million people in Somali Region will be covered by the relief food aid or safety net programmes for the second half of 2006. The 2006 Humanitarian Appeal initially identified this population as relief food aid beneficiaries for the first half of the year and then safety net food beneficiaries for the second half of the year. Coordination: Fortnightly emergency meetings continue at the federal, regional, and zonal levels, with zonal meetings in Gode becoming more regular. The federal TIME meeting was held on 27 April, and, after some delays, the next Early Warning Working Group meeting will be held on 3 May, at the DPPA conference hall. The Somali Regional Coordination meeting, to be held in Jijiga, is delayed until 4 May. The Afar Regional Coordination meeting, to be held in Semera, is scheduled for 3 May, and the next Oromiya Regional Coordination meeting is scheduled for 16 May in Addis Ababa. The Emergency Health and Nutrition Taskforce has moved its regular meeting from Friday to Wednesday afternoons (2 pm). It will be coordinated with the Multi-Agency Nutrition Taskforce (MANTF) so that they do not overlap. For all the latest maps and information regarding the drought emergency please refer to [email protected]. SOMALI REGION Water and Sanitation: Water tankering has been scaled down in Somali Region; partners are requested to update the regional and federal taskforces regarding the status of their tankers. NGOs that have either scaled down or completely stopped water tankering include Islamic Relief, ICRC, ACF, Hope for the Horn, and Oxfam-GB. Updates have still not been received from the Regional Water Bureau’s (RWB) maintenance teams, which were sent into four zones. ICRC has been working with one team in Liben zone, and reported that the team had fixed one borehole and were getting supplies to fix two more. UNICEF sent four teams to rehabilitate 23 water schemes in Gode, Afder, and Liben zones, 12 of which have been maintained so far, benefiting more than 36,000 people. An inventory of 170 existing systems in the region is available through the Regional WES taskforce, and the RWB has been asked to input the information into a database. With hygiene and sanitation a priority, efforts are picking up to distribute water purification products for turbid (cloudy) and non-turbid (clear) water, conduct hygiene and sanitation promotion, remove livestock carcasses, and train staff. UNICEF has provided five Emergency Water Purification (EmWat) Units, utilised by Islamic Relief, International Aid Services (IAS), and ICRC in Afder and Liben zones. The Regional Health Bureau (RHB) and UNICEF jointly organised an emergency hygiene and sanitation training in Gode and Dolo Odo for the week of 24 April. It focused on water disinfection methods, hand-washing, and sanitation, for over 120 health workers and school teachers. The training was planned for earlier but health staff were held-up by the measles campaign. The WASH leaflets on hand-washing from 2005 have been reprinted and are available at the RHB. Population Services International’s (PSI) locally-produced WaterGuard, a chlorine water purification product appropriate for non-turbid (clear) water, is now available through local distributors in Southern and Eastern Ethiopia (Dire Dawa Administration and Borena and Guji zones of Oromiya Region). Water purification products for turbid (cloudy) water can be procured through UNICEF/MoWR (WaterMaker) for all partners and through PSI (PuR) for NGOs with USAID/OFDA funding. The local production and distribution of WaterGuard for clear water increases the potential sustainability of its use, and information, education, and communication (IEC) materials on hygiene and sanitation, which are available in Amharic and Somali languages, increase the likelihood that the product will be used properly. It has been stressed by the WES taskforces that all water treatment chemicals should be distributed with the proper education in order to increase their effectiveness. Livestock: Due to recent rains, there has been some regeneration of pasture, though not yet sufficient to support livestock. Currently, the Livestock, Crops and Natural Resource Development Bureau (LCNRDB) has mobilised three teams to Tafaribar, Fafan and Babile areas to undertake treatment and vaccination interventions. FAO has supported the LCNRDB in the livestock and seed emergency interventions in Liben, Afder, Gode, Shinile and Jijiga zones, the latter two of which will receive seed support shortly. Eight teams were deployed by FAO to the three southern zones targeting more than 800,000 livestock for treatment and vaccination in the first round; the second round campaign is ongoing and expected to be finalised by mid-May. The LCNRDB is preparing to respond to the unknown camel diseases affecting the region, with technical and logistics support from FAO. In addition, FAO has opened a permanent office in Jijiga, and will increase its support to the regional bureau and the livestock working group. Oxfam-GB has vaccinated and treated 62,000 livestock in Hareshin woreda with drugs and supplies provided by the regional bureau. ICRC reached 67,000 animals with veterinary treatment in the third week of April through seven teams in Gerbo, Mustahil, and Ferfer woredas in Fik and Gode zones, bringing its total to 244,000 livestock, focused on breeding and young stock.

  • COUNTRY Food Security Update
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update September 2013 Crops are at their normal developmental stages in most parts of the country Figure 1. Projected food security outcomes, KEY MESSAGES September 2013 • Following the mostly normal performance of the June to September Kiremt rains, most crops are at their normally expected developmental stage. A near normal Meher harvest is expected in most parts of the country. However, in places where Kiremt rains started late and in areas where some weather-related hazards occurred, some below normal production is anticipated. • Market prices of most staple cereals remain stable at their elevated levels compared to previous months, but prices are likely to fall slightly starting in October due to the expected near normal Meher production in most parts of the country, which, in turn, will also improve household-level food access from October to December. Source: FEWS NET Ethiopia • Overall, current nutritional status compared to June/July has slightly improved or remains the same with exceptions in Figure 2. Projected food security outcomes, some areas in northeastern Tigray and Amhara Regions as October to December 2013 well as some parts of East Hararghe Zone in Oromia Region. In these areas, there are indications of deteriorating nutritional status due to the well below average Belg harvest and the current absence of a green harvest from long-cycle Meher crops. CURRENT SITUATION • Cumulative Kiremt rainfall from June to September was normal to above normal and evenly distributed in all of Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region (SNNPR), in most parts of Amhara, in central and western parts Oromia, and in the central parts of Tigray.

  • Prioritization of Shelter/NFI Needs
    Prioritization of Shelter/NFI needs Date: 31st May 2018 Shelter and NFI Needs As of 18 May 2018, the overall number of displaced people is 345,000 households. This figure is based on DTM round 10, partner’s assessments, government requests, as well as the total of HH supported since July 2017. The S/NFI updated its prioritisation in early May and SNFI Cluster partners agreed on several criteria to guide prioritisation which include: - 1) type of emergency, 2) duration of displacement, and 3) sub-standard shelter conditions including IDPS hosted in collective centres and open-air sites and 4) % of vulnerable HH at IDP sites. Thresholds for the criteria were also agreed and in the subsequent analysis the cluster identified 193 IDP hosting woredas mostly in Oromia and Somali regions, as well as Tigray, Gambella and Addis Ababa municipality. A total of 261,830 HH are in need of urgent shelter and NFI assistance. At present the Cluster has a total of 57,000 kits in stocks and pipeline. The Cluster requires urgent funding to address the needs of 204,830 HHs that are living in desperate displacement conditions across the country. This caseload is predicted to increase as the flooding continues in the coming months. Shelter and NFI Priority Activities In terms of priority activities, the SNFI Cluster is in need of ES/NFI support for 140,259 HH displaced mainly due to flood and conflict under Pillar 2, primarily in Oromia and Somali Regions. In addition, the Shelter and NFI Cluster requires immediate funding for recovery activities to support 14,000 HH (8,000 rebuild and 6,000 repair) with transitional shelter support and shelter repair activities under Pillar 3.
