The FSAU biannual seasonal technical series reports have always included an integrated analysis of all sectors including nutrition, however given the scale of nutrition infor- mation available, a separate publication was deemed appropriate. Therefore, this report does not replace the seasonal technical series report rather complements it, with a specific focus on nutrition information. The FSAU Post Deyr ’08/09 Technical Series report, will be released in the coming weeks and provides a detailed analysis by region and by sector of the integrated food security situation. FSAU Technical Series Report No V. 16 vii Issued February 20, 2009 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The findings of the FSAU, FEWSNET, and partners’ post Deyr ‘08/09 seasonal assessment confirm that there is an ongoing and sustained Humanitarian Crisis in Somalia, with 43% of the total population of the country, or around 3.2 million people, in need of emergency livelihood and life-saving assistance at least until June 2009. A failed state since the early 1990s, Somalia has had recurring humanitarian emergencies over the last 18 years and is a country characterized by chronically high rates of acute malnutrition above emergency levels, and chronic levels of food insecurity among the rural population. The ongoing humanitarian crisis, however, is unique in that the crisis is widespread; not only are 1.2 million rural people in crisis, nearly two-thirds of those in crisis, or 2 million people, are urban poor and internally displaced populations (IDPs) (Map 2 & 3 and Table 1). One of the driving factors behind the current emergency is a macro-economic crisis, driven by a significantly devalued Somali Shilling and hyperinflation of basic food and non-food items. This macro-economic crisis is exacerbated by months of increased conflict that have internally displaced more than 1 million people throughout the country. Furthermore, the Deyr ‘08/09 season rains (Oct.-Dec. ‘08) were below normal. This not only deepened an already severe ongoing drought and pastoral humanitarian emergency in the central regions, but has resulted in another year of below normal annual cereal production and an overall annual cereal availability deficit of 120,000MT.

Following the recent floods in Somalia, a number of IDPs were affected and displaced which were at risk to poor hygiene and sanitation if not intervened timely. The assessment was planned after extensive discussion with the WASH cluster partners through the regional WASH cluster meeting held on 29th April 2018 at CPD hall in Adado District. This assessment would not have been possible without the generous support of the WASH partner organizations mentioned above who supported questionnaire data collection in Abudwak, Adado and Dhusamareb Districts of Galmudug State, Somalia. The GU seasonal rain started with heavy rains flooding most in middle and lower shabelle but it has not spared the IDPs in Galmudug State affecting 3,315 Households in Abudwak, Adado and Dhusamareb District IDP Camps as well. These people affected by the floods are mostly the IDPs and some Host communities’ homestead leaving stagnant around their homes and leaving massive flood around their water sources leaving stagnant water in all the area and destroying latrines and the IDPs temporary shelters.

  • CERF Reporting Template
    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).

Suure sub clan is the branch of Dir family that occupies Herale district. The community has a strong tradition that bonded the community over the years. However, the tradition seem to have been weakened over time by the political contests between politicians that supported Galmudug state formation in 2015 and ASWJ allied faction that opposed its formation- because of the federal governments interference.The disagreement resulted a bloody conflict that saw the ousting of ASWJ backed faction that dominated the politics of the district for decades from Herale town to Hurshe settlement 15 KM north of the city.
