SOMALIA Humanitarian Dashboard - December 2020 As of 27 January 2021 SITUATION OVERVIEW ¹ Water shortages are reported in parts of Puntland and Somaliland, especially the coastal parts of Bari, Nugaal and Sanaag, with about 500 pastoral families forced to move from their homes in Puntland. In Somaliland, the failure of the Deyr rains has caused a crisis especially in Togdheer region, prompting pastoral households to move to Ethiopia in search of water and pasture. Water shortages are also reported in Gedo region, Jubaland. Humanitarian partners are exploring options to respond. New swarms of desert locusts crossed from Hiraan region to Middle Shabelle devastating pasture and farms. In Bari region, Puntland, where Cyclone Gati led to crop, livestock and property losses in November, a renewed locust infestation has been reported. Across Somalia, the desert locusts have affected almost 700,000 people and close to 300,000 hectares of land. Intensive ground and aerial control activities are ongoing.
