The United Nations has announced that it has allocated $5 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to support Somalia, particularly in the early measures to prevent the expected drought. This was confirmed by the UN’s humanitarian coordinator, Joyce Msuya.
Somalia is at high risk of facing severe drought conditions caused by La Niña, with a 70% decrease in the expected rainfall. This funding will be crucial in addressing the situation and ensuring that the Somali people receive the necessary emergency assistance to mitigate the effects of the drought.4o mini
This situation poses a particular threat to rural communities in central and southern Somalia, as well as Puntland. The impact of the drought is expected to jeopardize food access for people living in these regions, according to the United Nations.
The newly announced $5 million donation is set to benefit more than 130,000 people. The focus will be on critical areas such as safety, food, water services, sanitation, and health. This funding aims to provide immediate relief to those most affected by the looming drought.
