| Humanitarian Bulletin - Weekly Humanitarian Highlights in Ethiopia, 11 July 2011 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:12:56 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Ethiopia Revised HRD Launch The revised Humanitarian Requirements Document was launched on 11 July 2011 and calls for an additional US$ 398.4 million in humanitarian funding to meet food and non-food needs in Ethiopia between July and December 2011. For more information, contact: infodrmfss@dppc.gov.et Seasonal Outlook According to the Somali Regional Disaster Prevention & Preparedness Bureau (DPPB), the overall food security situation in all livelihood zones of Somali region had deteriorated in 2011 due to the failed 2010 deyr rains as well as late and irregular gu rains, which were erratic, poorly distributed and saw early cessation in all zones of the region. Moderate rains were received in the last weeks of April and second week of May in most parts of the southern zones and Jijiga zone, with the exception of Denan, Kelafo, Mustahil, Ferfer, eastern parts of Gode, Debeweyin, Shilabo, Bare, eastern Dolobay, Warder, parts of Moyale and Hudat, Jijiga and Awbare districts. The majority of Shinile zone also remained dry, except parts of Dembel and Miesso woredas. However, the rains that did fall contributed to some temporary improvement in water and browse availability, although they were insufficient to alleviate the ongoing drought and heavy livestock mortality. According to the National Meteorological Agency (NMA) weather forecast meanwhile, the existing kiremt rain producing systems will continue to strengthen in most meher-producing areas, with seasonal rainfall expected in central, northeastern and eastern parts of the country. Thus, during the first half of July, normal to above-normal rainfall is anticipated over the western half of Amhara and Tigray, Benishangul Gumuz, western and central Oromia, and isolated areas of the southern and eastern highlands. Heavy rains are also likely in some areas. As a result, the Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector (DRMFSS) advocates preparedness actions, particularly in low-lying areas and near riverbanks in areas with soils of low absorption capacity, to reduce the hazard of flooding. Near normal rain is expected over Gambella, eastern Tigray and Amhara, as well as surrounding areas of eastern Oromia. The southern and southeastern lowlands will remain dry. |
| Somalia Humanitarian Overview Vol. 4 Issue 6, June 2011 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 15:01:44 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya The current humanitarian situation in Somalia is the worst it has been in the last ten years. The overall number of people in crisis in Somalia is now 2.85 million, which means one in three Somalis is aff ected. In the fi rst half of 2011, the number of people in crisis and urgent need of humanitarian assistance increased by almost 850,000 people. At least one in three Somali children are malnourished in parts of southern Somalia. Over 460 Somali children died in nutrition centres throughout Somalia between January and May this year. Malnutrition rates amongst new arrivals in refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya are alarming, ranging from 30-40 per cent. Three in fi ve children arriving in refugee camps in Ethiopia from southern Somalia are malnourished. In refugee camps in Kenya, more deaths were recorded among Somali children in the therapeutic feeding centres in the fi rst quarter of 2011 than in all of last year. Because of lack of food in southern regions of Somalia, thousands are being forced to fl ee to neighboring countries of Kenya and Ethiopia to access assistance. UNHCR is reporting an average of 10,000 new Somali refugees arriving in Kenya?s Dadaab camps per month (at least 1,300 per day since 19 June) and 5,000-6,000 arriving at Doolow Ado camp in Ethiopia. As of 26 June, a total of 60,200 Somalis were registered in Kenya this year ? a more than 100 per cent increase as compared to the same time in 2010. Internal displacement, due to confl ict and drought, amounts to over 36,000 in the month of May and June alone. The current humanitarian response is inadequate due to lack of funding and restrictive access to areas of need. The funding available to date for humanitarian operations is less than half of the amount needed. The Somalia Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP) has been revised upwards and, due to the deepening crisis, funding needs for the second half of the year are now amounting to $561. |
