Somalia Drought Crisis 2026
Over 4.8M people face food insecurity.
1.85M children risk acute malnutrition. Puntland: • 1M need support
• 310K children affected
• 36 schools closed (26.5K students)
• 130+ boreholes down
A climate + governance crisis.
#Drought#FoodInsecurity
"The Puntland government has responded by
establishing a coordinated drought relief committee that has mobilized
nearly $1 million in emergency funding, delivering water, food
assistance, and rehabilitating boreholes"
#Puntland#Drought#Climatechange#Iridinstitute
"While climate shocks
amplify humanitarian pressures, recurring drought crises are largely
driven by systemic weaknesses in national and local policy frameworks,
institutional coordination, and resilience mechanisms"
