Agriculture assistance is life-saving.

It is significantly less expensive to help rural families produce food, than to provide them food.

Read our new @FAOemergencies briefing note on the importance of investing in agriculture in emergency contexts https://t.co/e74U5tJr6Q

Lack of latrines in IDP camps results in open defecation especially among children. These unsanitary conditions are a breeding ground for infectious diseases such as cholera and other diarrheal related diseases. 📍Kismayo, Jubaland.
