A team from SOHDA visited yesterday Galgalato, Gubadley and El’Adde locations under Gubadley environment adminstration and met new arrivals of drought affected people displaced from Adalle and Balcad of Middle Shabelle region.
Around 500 HHs reached these locations.
Situation of the displaced people reached to Galgalato, El’Adde and Gubadley was very bad and unacceptable.
Newly displaced people are in need of food, water, sanitation, protection, shelter, non-food items and many other services.
Somalia is experiencing its worst drought crisis in a decade, with millions going hungry and being forced from their homes in search of food and water.
The impact on families is being felt more severely this season due to the result of multiple, prolonged droughts in quick succession, a worsening security situation, desert locust infestations, soaring food prices, reduced remittances – and less money committed by donors to respond.
Somalia has experienced three major drought crises in the past decade: in 2011/12, 2016/2017, and now in 2021/22
