SOMALIA Humanitarian Dashboard - November 2020 As of 21 December 2020 SOMALIA Humanitarian Dashboard - November 2020 As of 21 December 2020 SITUATION OVERVIEW ¹ Cyclone Gati, which is believed to be the strongest storm ever on record in Somalia, made a landfall at the north tip of north east Puntland on 22 November, affecting 120,000 people of whom 42,100 people were temporarily displaced. Those displaced have since returned to their homes and settlements. Humanitarian partners have scaled up assistance to people affected by Cyclone Gati in Bari region of Puntland. As of 8 December, over 78,000 affected people are receiving some form of humanitarian assistance. The desert locust upsurge that began in late 2019 continued into 2020, affecting around 685,000 persons countrywide. Crop and pasture production is estimated to be 10 to 15 per cent lower than the long-term average owing to the impact of desert locusts in riverine areas and northern Bay, Bakool, agropastoral livelihood zones, where crisis-level food insecurity (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Phase 3) persist. Immature swarms continue to form within a large area of breeding in central Somalia. Although intensive ground and aerial control operations are in progress, a substantial number of hoppers bands are present and fledging to form new immature swarms. These swarms are expected to move south. Breeding is in progress in northern Somalia because of favourable conditions that developed from the heavy rains brought by cyclone Gati last in November. Substantial hatching and band formation are expected on the northwest coast, on the northern plateau and in the northeast during the coming weeks. Ground and aerial control operations continue.

    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).

  • SOMALIA Food Security Update May 2015
    SOMALIA Food Security Outlook Update May 2015 Gu crops developing normally in South-Central KEY MESSAGES Figure 1.Projected food security In Jowhar District in Middle Shabelle and Sablale District in Lower Shabelle Region, outcomes, May to June 2015 flooding in the high-productivity riverine areas will likely lead to a below-average harvest and long delays in that harvest. This will likely increase local cereal prices, reduce agricultural labor demand, and lead to deteriorating food security outcomes between now and the delayed harvest in August. In pastoral areas, increased livestock production and values will likely result in increased access to milk and meat, increased income from milk sales, and better food security between now and September. Northwest Agropastoral livelihood zone will likely have a below-average Gu maize and cash crop harvest in July. Households will likely reduce food consumption between then and the Karan harvest in October. CURRENT SITUATION In mid-April, Gu rains started in South-Central. Since the start, average to above average rainfall was received in most parts of the country. Rains have refilled water catchments, shallow wells, and communal dams in rural areas, and they have Source: FEWS NET helped increase browse availability and improve grazing conditions. Figure 2. Projected food security Several areas have received less rain. The lowest amounts of rain have been in outcomes, July to September 2015 Guban Pastoral livelihood zone in the Northwest and Coastal Deeh Pastoral livelihood zone in Bari Region in the Northeast. Rainfall has also been below average in most parts of Awdal, Bari, Sanag, and Woqooyi Galbeed Regions.

Out of the 30 stool samples collected last week, 18 have tested positive for Vibrio cholera serotype ‘inaba’. • Several AWD cases, mainly IDPs, have been reported from Kismayo with at least 40 cases and 4 deaths. WHO has sent medical supplies that are adequate to treat up to 20 severe adults or 50 children and over 100 moderate cases. Update on major public health concerns: • Trends of acute watery diarrhoea (AWD)/cholera The cholera transmission season is ongoing. Some areas have received sporadic rains, posing a high risk for transmission of waterborne diseases, such as AWD. Communities tend to use contami- nated water for domestic use, hence the high risk for sporadic outbreaks. Multiple rumors are cur- rently being investigated. Confirmed cholera outbreaks are ongoing in Mogadishu (Banadir region), the Afgooye corridor, Baidoa (Bay region), Xarardere, Bursalah, Godldogob, and Hobyo district (Mudug region), Awdhegle and Wanlaweyne district (Lower Shabelle region). Confirmed measles and dengue fever cases have been identified in Mogadishu (Banadir region). Dengue fever is con- firmed in Galbeed region of Somaliland. The cholera outbreak in Baidoa is considered under control. Graph 1. Trend of AWD and cholera case at 1 Since week 1 , 4272 AWD/cholera cases Banadir hospital, Mogadishu (Blue=AWD Cases 250 Red=Cholera) including 3225 (75%) cases under the age of five Lab confirmed cholera with 181 related deaths have been reported from Trends for 2010 200 Banadir Hospital in Mogadishu (see graph 1).

  • Food Security Nutrition
    FSNAU Food Security Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit - Somalia & Nutrition Issued June 30, 2016 Quarterly Brief - Focus on Post Gu 2016 Season Early Warning KEY ISSUES Based on ongoing monitoring activities and the findings of the FSNAU’s rapid field assessment (June 2016) and climate forecasts for 2016 Hagaa (June - July) and Deyr (October - December), the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) projects deterioration of food security conditions in parts of Central and Southern agricultural livelihoods of Somalia in the post-Gu period (July-December 2016). The foreseen deterioration is attributed to below average Gu harvest outlook as a result of unfavourable Gu rainy season, while Hagaa (June - July) seasonal rains are also expected to be below normal. In addition, next Deyr rainy season (October-December) is likely to be below average in most parts of the Climate country due to likely La Nina event. Markets • Flood-affected areas of Hiran and Middle Shabelle are likely to be most affected, particularly during the Hagaa dry season. Similarly, livestock-dependent coastal areas (Coastal Deeh Pastoral and Cowpea Belt) of Central, where poor households mostly own small ruminants, are also likely to see deterioration Nutrition in their food security situation due to the impact of poor Gu rains and anticipated unfavourable Deyr rainy season this year. Agriculture • On the other hand, recent Gu rains have helped to recover pasture, water and livestock conditions in pastoral areas in the Northwest, including the drought-affected areas of Guban and Northern Inland Livestock Pastoral (NIP) livelihoods. The agropastoral areas of Northwest, which were affected by drought over the past two years, are likely to see some improvements due to projected above average Gu-Karan rains (July-September) with a positive impact on major harvest in November.
