  • Somalia Drought Response
    Somalia Since 1991, International Medical Corps has worked in Somalia to implement programs that build local capacity while serving the immediate health, nutrition and sanitation and hygiene needs of the most vulnerable. Drought conditions continue to worsen in Somalia and famine looms as the country’s long-running armed conflict drags on, taking a heavy toll on civilians in much of the south-central region. The effects of drought, flooding, and displacement in addition to the fighting have left approximately half of the population dependent on outside support for their survival and livelihoods support. The drought continues to drive people from their homes in search of assistance, while disease outbreaks including cholera and measles are spreading. Restrictions on humanitarian access exacerbate the already precarious situation. EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO DROUGHT International Medical Corps is scaling up health and nutrition assistance in Mudug, Galgaduud, and Banadir, three regions at emergency levels of acute food insecurity (IPC 4). In addition, International Medical Corps is providing health, nutrition screening, and water and sanitation (WASH) assistance within the Middle Shabelle Region, currently at crisis levels of food insecurity (IPC 3). This includes mobile medical clinics in Galgaduud, Banadir, and Middle Shabelle that reach remote communities with life- saving care. We are also running a 54-bed stabilization center that provides 24-hour care for severely malnourished children with medical complications at Galkayo South Hospital. In Mogadishu, International Medical Corps is providing primary health and nutrition services in two displacement settlements. This includes screening for and treatment of acute malnutrition as well as community education healthy infant and young child feeding practices and food rations.

  • REGION: MIDDLE SHABELLE REGION INTRODUCTION Middle
    REGION: MIDDLE SHABELLE REGION INTRODUCTION Middle Shabelle is located in the central regions of Somalia. The region borders Galgadud to the north, Hiran to the west, Lower Shabelle and Banadir regions to the south and the Indian Ocean to the east. A pre-war census estimated the population at 2 million and today the Regional Council claims that the region's population is around 1.5 million. The umbrella clan is Hawiye with major clans that include: Abgul, Galjacel, and Shildle and minor clans include: Moblem, Hawadle, Kabole, Hilibe . The region consists of seven districts: Jowhar - the regional capital, Balad, Adale, Aden Yabal, Warseikh, Run-Nigrod and Mahaddey. The region supports livestock production, rain-fed and irrigated agriculture and fisheries, with an annual rainfall between 150 and 500 millimeters. Covering an area of approximately 60,000 square kilometres, the region has a 400 kilometre coastline on the Indian Ocean. The Shabelle river runs for 150 kilometres through the region. EDUCATION The Middle Shabelle has three state recognized schools (plus 5 women's handicraft schools), in Adale, Aden-Yabal, and Balad, enrolling 5,000 students and has approximately 300 teachers. The international community is also involved in education. InterSOS supports a primary school with the provision of salaries for 40 Somali teachers and breakfast for the students. InterSOS began supporting the school in May, 1994, then having an enrollment of 130 pupils. Since then, it has expanded to 1170 pupils, 12 classes, and 39 teachers. WFP/MSF-Spain and local NGOs have rehabilitated the two main schools in Jowhar. Currently neither is operational due to lack of furniture and equipment, though MSF-Spain is assisting local carpenters in the production of furniture for the schools.

Lead agency: Polish Humanitarian Action-PAH Type of assessment: Flood impact assessment. Date of assessment: 29th April 2018 Submitted to National WASH Cluster by: Middle Shabelle Regional WASH Cluster Focal Point on May 1st, 2018 Background Middle shabelle locates north of Mogadishu, the capital city of Somalia. Its occupants are mainly farmers, while some are agro –pastoralists. There is along river that comes from the Ethiopian high lands. The river is named after the region; that is the shabelle. The river long passes through the region and has a unique characteristic that is it lies higher than the ground hence making it susceptible to floods to the neighbouring villages/lands and farms as well. Recently, it has flooded from two main breakages; that is at Bayahaw and Mandheere villages respectively. Both the breakage are fresh breakages flooding water to the farms lands. Methodology of collecting information during the Joint assessment Observations –The team walked round the affected and of concern villages and employed sight to observe the immediate surroundings to see the effects of the flood. Key community members open focus group discussions in order to gather the underlying information affecting the community. At the first, we alighted at Bayahaw village and assessed the breakage point and found: Bayahaw breakage The length of the breakage is 28 m including the weak point and still widening with the intense flood pressure.
