Somalia: Flood Response - May 2018 (Issued on 8 May 2018)

Somalia: Flood Response - May 2018 (issued on 8 May 2018)

SITUATION OVERVIEW Due to increased rainfall in the Juba and Shabelle basins in Somalia and neighboring Ethiopia, river water levels, which were extremely low between January and February 2018 have been steadily increasing since March, and have now reached high flood risk/full bank levels and overflowing. The Juba and Shabelle basins in Somalia and in the Ethiopian highlands continued to receive moderate to heavy rains during the first week of May. Continued heavy rains and high river levels have led to flooding which currently exceeds a 50 year return period flood magnitude. Belet Weyne in Hirshabelle State has remained at full bank level for the last 14 days, and is expected to remain so for the next couple of days.

SITUATION OVERVIEW In Jubaland State, an estimated 206,000 people have been affected and nearly 95,000 people displaced. Large areas of farmland are flooded, and crops have been washed away by the floods. Most of the farms from Doolow to Gobweyn areas along the Juba river are reportedly under water. Agricultural assets, including irrigation equipment, have also been damaged. The people living in riverine areas have moved to higher grounds. Destruction of shelters and latrines has also been reported. In Afmadow, in Lower Juba, the inland towns located along the Legdhera basin have also been affected by flooding for first time since 2006, according to local sources. Access to food supplies is limited as major supply routes are impassible. Seasonal streams have converged at Diif, in the Gedo region, causing flooding in the town. Coastal towns, such as Kismayo, have also been affected by heavy rains and flash floods.

SITUATION OVERVIEW In South West State, an estimated 174,000 people have been affected by localized flash flooding in most towns. The worst-affected places are those hosting IDPs in low-lying areas. In Baidoa, half of the estimated 246,000 IDPs are at risk of flash flooding. In addition, the price of camel milk has more than doubled in Baidoa in less than a week, reportedly due to increased levies and blockages imposed by non-state armed actors. Meanwhile, riverine flooding in Lower Shabelle has also displaced nearly 3,000 people from Qoryooley to Marka to seek humanitarian assistance. Some 22 suspected cases of AWD/Cholera have been recorded at Afgooye General Hospital over the past two weeks. Medical supplies are insufficient to meet growing needs. Access to affected villages is limited due both to insecurity and to impassable roads resulting from the rains. Authorities in Lower Shabelle have appealed for assistance.
