Overview of position
Background
According to UN, In Somalia close to 3 million people cannot meet their daily food needs. Some over 500,000 people have fled their homes this year alone in search of food, water, and safety. Acute Watery Diarrhea and Cholera has spread to 11 of 18 regions of the country, with over 18,000 cases reported just this year. Women are particularly impacted, sometimes forced to walk many kilometers to fetch water. In Somalia women, will walk 25 to 50 kilometers on average to fetch water, exposing them to violence and sexual abuse. The Federal Government is extremely concerned about the impact of the crisis; In many parts of the country, caravans of destitute families have moved out of their localities to seek food and water in other areas by foot having lost their entire livestock and in some case, vulnerable family members on the long trek. In view of these, the Federal Government has created a dedicated ministry of humanitarian affairs and Disaster Management to respond to the immediate need of the affected communities as well as finding a durable solution that will enhance our preparedness and coping mechanism to deal with future crisis.
With this regard, the Federal Government of Somalia called upon all partners and UN agencies to fully engage with them in the drought response and better help them manage disasters and minimize the impact of such recurrent drought in Somalia.
