    SOMALIA | FLOOD RESPONSE IN COVID-19 CONTEXT SOMALIA As at 7 May 2020 90,000 400,000 40,000 persons displaced by persons at risk of being beneficiaries targeted in flash floods and riverine displaced by floods initial distribution of NFI kits flooding Flooded neighbourhood in Gaalkacyo. OPERATIONAL CONTEXT The onset of the Gu seasonal rains in late April has caused riverine and flash flooding in many areas of Somalia and affected more than 200,000 persons including damage or loss of homes, schools, small businesses, boreholes and livestock. It is expected that the Gu season (April-June) will impact Somalia at similar levels to the Deyr rains of 2019 when more than 400,000 persons were displaced. With 2.6 million internally displaced persons Somalia has the fourth largest IDP population in the world and second largest in Africa. NEEDS AND GAPS Decongestion: Flooding increases congestion especially for those who are displaced. High density sites and communities and lack of household items are key factors for transmission of COVID 19. Decongestion through expansion of sites, rearranging shelters, provision of emergency shelter and household items can help reduce the risk of transmission and will certainly improve the living conditions. Shelter and NFI: Assuming that half of the projected 400,000 individuals (80 per cent of affected) will need both NFI kits (consisting of emergency items such as blankets, jerry cans, plastic sheets and more) and emergency shelter, and the remaining half will need either shelter or NFI kits, a total of 50,000 NFI kits and 50,000 shelter kits will be required.

    SOMALIA Food Security Outlook October 2018 to May 2019 Deyr rainfall expected to sustain current outcomes, except in some pastoral areas KEY MESSAGES Current food security outcomes, October 2018 • Food security has continued to improve throughout Somalia since the 2018 Gu. Most northern and central livelihood zones are Stressed (IPC Phase 2), while southern livelihood zones are Minimal (IPC Phase 1) or Stressed (IPC Phase 2). In October, humanitarian assistance continued to prevent worse outcomes in Guban Pastoral and northwestern Northern Inland Pastoral (NIP) livelihood zones, where Crisis! (IPC Phase 3!) and Stressed! (IPC Phase 2!) outcomes persist, respectively. Northwest Agropastoral and most IDP settlements are also in Crisis (IPC Phase 3). • Contrary to earlier forecasts, Deyr seasonal rainfall is now expected to be below-average despite the development of a weak El Niño. Overall, favorable soil moisture is anticipated to prevent large declines in Deyr crop production and rangeland resources, and current outcomes are likely to be sustained in most livelihood zones through May 2019. In Addun Pastoral, Coastal Deeh Pastoral and Fishing, and northeastern NIP livelihood zones, however, deterioration in pasture and water resources is likely to lead to Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes during Source: FEWS NET and FSNAU FEWS NET and FSNAU classification is IPC-compatible.

  • Gedo Region – Situation Analysis
    Gedo Region – Situation Analysis Context Gedo Region, the second largest region in Somalia, lies on the Somalia borders with Ethiopia and Kenya, and shares borders with four Somali regions of Bay, Bakool and Middle Jubba and Lower Jubba. It has an estimated total population of 328,3781, with a 75/25 rural/urban divide.The region is home to 76,510 IDPs2. UNHCR estimates that 16,380 IDPs arrived in Luuq, 30,000 in Doloow, and approximately 18,000 in Belet Xaawo. Gedo has six administrative districts: Garbaharey, Baardheere (the capital), Ceel Waaq in the south and Belet Xaawo, Doloow, and Luuq in the north. Two major rivers run through the region, the Dawa and the Juba. The Dawa River runs along the border of Ethiopia into Somalia’s Gedo region. The Jubba River starts from Doloow, just north of Luuq district, and flows to Buur Dhuubo and Baardheere. The economy mostly depends on rearing livestock and farming, but also has strong inter-regional and international cross-border trade with Kenya and Ethiopia, to some extent. In the northern zone the pastoralists rear sheep, goats, camels and cows. The agro-pastoral zone extends from east to west below Guban. The riverine zone extends from east to west below West Golis and is mainly a farming area where crops such as sorghum are produced. The security and access situation in north Gedo, in particular to Luuq, has relatively improved for the United Nations and International NGOs. The area is controlled by the Somali National Army forces backed by Ethiopian forces. South Gedo is more insecure due to continued clashes and greater access for Al-Shabaab (AS) in the rural areas of Garbaharey, Buur Dhuubo and Baardheere.
