Then the members introduced themselves, their position and the organization they are representing. Dr. Idow the Vice Coordinator of Middle Shabelle FSC gave a brief update on emergency interventions in terms of Livelihood and shelter. He also updated on a lack of presence of International NGOs and UN Agencies in the region while its only few L/INGOs who have undertaken limited interventions. The IDPs who fled from Civil War and Floods still remain in the IDP Camps since they cannot have access to return to their original villages. They are also in need of shelter since their houses were burnt down. Their means of livelihood is also limited, so their access to food is also limited. They require Food for Work, Food for Assets or Cash for Work. Dr. Idow the V/C of Middle Shabelle Regional Food Security Cluster said that the Tenure of Coordination of FSC was ended in February 2014 and this month they are continuing the FSC meeting till the Election which will be sent Mid-April 2014. He said that he will circulate the Form of Election to Middle Shabelle Food Security Cluster Members. Dr. Idow of WOCCA is working as an expert with the Ministry of Agriculture doing on river embankment in Jowhar and surrounding villages with Bulldozers. This will reinforce the embankments before the river levels go high during the Gu rains. They will also provide Tractor hours and Seed distribution to the most vulnerable villages that were displaced by the Floods and Civil War around 400 Families (each family will be provided one hector and 20kg of Maize Seeds). The District Commissioner, Chair for Prevention of Disaster in Middle Shabelle and Middle Shabelle Women Group participated in the meeting. The members present introduced themselves to the guest after which the guests thanked everyone who was present and said that they were happy this meeting was held in Middle Shabelle and that it’s a sign that the security is improving. Mohammed Osman Aqil the District commissioner of Jowhar started off the meeting by welcoming the participants and discussed the following points: Food insecurity exists in the Region and appeal to International Donors/UN-Agencies 5 Thanked Ministry of Agriculture for their response in the river embankment Food Insecurity of the Displaced communities and how they would return to their original villages Requisition of Embankment in Jowhar especially Badda Cas of Hanti Wadaag Sector inside Jowhar Town when the rain starts in GU season all these communities will be displaced to other locations Food Insecurity exists in the region and Appeal to International Donors /UN-Agencies: Last year, 2013 the region was faced with many problems such as the Floods which affected the community of Middle Shabelle. The floods started early April and destroyed many Villages and farms. As for the last two seasons farmers did not receive any crop production (Crop Failure) since the floods had covered a large distance from Middle Shabelle to Lower Shabelle. Also many lives were lost during the Civil War and even they lost their shelter forcing them to move to other areas. Most of them now are IDPS in Jowhar Town, Congo, Daanyeerey and Jowhar Airport. Due to this we are requesting for Humanitarian Assistance especially in terms of Livelihood and Shelter to the displaced people. River Embankments: We requested for support last month for river embankment because when the rains start the river levels comes up causing the Flooding. This destroys many lives, assets, farmlands, houses and livestock but fortunately the Ministry of Agriculture Somalia Federal Government responded our requisition to make river embankment to 12 Breakages in Jowhar and surrounding areas and providing Land preparation & Distribution of seeds to 400 Beneficiaries. They also offered to repair Kallundi Primary Canal that gets affected by the Floods. Food security of the displaced communities and how they will return to their original villages: The displaced people from different villages have no food to eat, those in the IDPs camps have no water to drink because water trucking of ICRC was stopped. In the Airport there has been severe food insecurity and reported deaths. There is no distribution of food from any organization either local or international. Local Authorities are requesting some support in Middle Shabelle Community with humanitarian aid. We are appealing to International Donors/UN-Agencies as this is an Emergency. Chair of Prevention Emergencies in Middle Shabelle Osman Barrey said that we are very sorry for the problems encountered Middle Shabelle region about Floods, Civil Wars and sometimes occurrence of droughts. We would like to support our vulnerable people who have been displaced and we are thinking that the International Donors will assist us on how to return the IDPs to their original villages. The Chair Women Group in Middle Shabelle Sacdiyo Buris requested the L/INGOs to support the Women in the region who have a lot of problems in terms of Livelihoods because they are unemployed and also to provide Materials for Sanitation and Hygiene. The IDPs in the Airport Women and Children are the most vulnerable people and need support for humanitarian 6 assistance to in terms of distributing Food and also provide Food for work. Review and agreement of previous minutes The previous minutes were reviewed and approved by the members who were present in the previous meeting. However there were still challenges/constraints in the region that were a major problem existing presently like shortage of food, need for shelter and constructing the original villages which were burnt houses during civil war and Flood affected people. Current situation The IDPs in the region are in the worst situation because of shortage of Food and Water; some in the IDP Camps have died due to lack of food. Still others who are in the Camps cannot return to their original homes due to financial constraints and also they have no support from L/INGOs working in the region. There are limited

The next report will be issued on or around 21 October. HIGHLIGHTS The number of COVID-19 cases increased by 125 new cases and 5 deaths since August, to 3,390 confirmed cases and 98 deaths, as of 21 September. At least 900,000 face masks and 16,728 digital thermometers are needed to support the safe reopening of schools. According to the World Bank, the gross domestic product for Somalia is projected to decline by 1.5 per cent; an improvement from the June estimates of a 2.5 per cent decline.

Incidents mentioned in this report are not exhaustive. They are intended to highlight credible reports in order to inform and prompt programming and advocacy initiatives by the humanitarian community and national authorities. General Overview Attempts to improve ties between the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the government of Puntland were initiated after both the TFG Prime Minister Sheikh Abdiweli Mohamed and the President, Sharif Sheikh Ahmed visited Garowe and met with Puntland government officials. Among other things, the two sides agreed to strengthen security cooperation, fight terrorism and promote and protect human rights in Puntland. However, it remains to be seen what effect the agreement may have on overarching protection concerns in Puntland with regards to ongoing clan conflicts, politically motivated killings, protection of IDPs and violations resulting from piracy-related crimes. 1 Despite the positive political developments, violence erupted in Gaalkacyo between the Puntland police and clan militias on 1 September and continued for three days. The violence resulted in a large number casualties and massive displacement within Gaalkacyo as many moved their families to safer areas. A report suggests that approximately 80% of the Gaalkacyo town population of 100,000 moved out to nearby villages.2 The split within Al Shabaab ranks which ultimately led to its general withdrawal from the capital Mogadishu continues to.

Despite the success of SELIP II in responding to humanitarian needs of conflict and climate-affected populations across Somalia, in early 2017 the country experienced severe drought conditions that continued to worsen throughout the year, and Mercy Corps requested an addition budget of $4,000,000 in cost extension. This enabled Mercy Corps to support the disaster-affected communities and families with critical and immediate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) needs/services, expanded economic recovery and market systems (ERMS) support, and targeted agriculture and food security activities in the South Central Somalia regions of Galmudug, Lower and Middle Shabelle, Banadir, and Lower Juba as well as in new drought-affected areas in Gedo and Baidoa (IDP camps).
