@KhadijaMakhzumi Trees are an essential part of Somalia’s natural capital. Given that, without degradation, the estimated value of Somalia’s land resources would be US$222.3 billion. Promoting sustainable management and restoring the productivity of land is crucial to benefit future generations.

@USAIDSomalia @PowerUSAID Good 👍. All people of good will around the world need come together to help save lives right now.

[Somali Week MN @SomaliWeekMN]

@PowerUSAID @WFP This is the worst humanitarian crisis we’ve ever seen. Those numbers are only expected to go up. Only a massive and immediate scaling-up of funds and humanitarian relief will save Somalia and the rest of the horn of Africa from famine.

#Somalia is 2nd in the world in terms of climate vulnerability, and 69% of people already live below the poverty line. With the added pressure of Covid & war in Ukraine, the effects of the drought have been disastrous. Act now to stop famine in its tracks: https://t.co/5mYLpNOFGA
