📍 Drought-displaced families in Buurhakaba district, #Somalia, are at risk of famine.

Humanitarian actors are doing their best to assist people in desperate need, but much more is required to mitigate the impact of drought.

Acute malnutrition is surging in Buurhakaba, driven by drought, disease, and shrinking access to care.

“A prolonged drought affected our agricultural activities, significantly impacting our family livelihood,” said Habiibo.

I'm releasing $10M from UN's Emergency Fund CERF for Somalia – the window to prevent famine is short.

This funding will reach 640k people with lifesaving food, nutrition, health and water.

At 63 years old, Osman Ibrahim carried the burden of caring for eight children after displacement stripped his family of their livelihood and left them facing hunger and uncertainty.

When he arrived at Misaare IDP Camp in Buurhakaba, he had little hope for the future. Today, he is rebuilding his life with renewed confidence and dignity.

Osman is one of 1,000 vulnerable households supported through the @Somali_Cash, in partnership with @SaveChildrenSO in Buurhakaba and Qansaxdheere districts.

Through the project, he received USD 100 per month for three consecutive months, helping him meet urgent needs and take the first steps toward rebuilding his livelihood.

With support from @eu_echo and @SwissDevCoop, vulnerable families are moving from crisis toward recovery and resilience.

During the drought in #Somalia, cash assistance has been a crucial part of @WFP's response.

Cash enables families to:

🍲 buy food

💊 pay for medicine

💵 and purchase other basic essentials.

Thanks to @OCHAFunds for making this support possible for most in need.

[UNICEF Somalia @unicefsomalia]

📸 A healthy start begins with access to essential care.

Together with #UNICEF, @MoH_Somalia is supporting mothers like Halimo to keep their children healthy and protected.

🔴 Hunger

🔴 Water scarcity

🔴 Disease

🔴 Forced displacement

🔴 Family separation

These are ways civilians bear the brunt of war.

The rules of war must be upheld. ⤵️
