| Weekly Humanitarian Bulletin Issue # 28, 8- 15 July 2011 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 12:56:17 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Somalia, Yemen Key Overall Developments UNICEF, this week airlifted 5 metric tons of emergency nutrition supplies and water?related equipment to Baidoa, Bay region, in southern Somalia, which will benefit an estimated 100,000 people for three months. The UNICEF Representative to Somalia, Rozanne Chorlton said, ?we are ready to work anywhere in Somalia, provided we get unhindered access to reach the most vulnerable children in need.? This is the first time in two years that UNICEF is delivering assistance into Baidoa by air. Further deliveries are planned so that a Therapeutic Feeding Programme can be undertaken on a large enough scale to meet the needs of malnourished children. On 13 July, WFP issued a press statement stating that it would not stand by while the lives of hundreds of thousands ? many of them children ? are under threat in southern Somalia. The food agency said that it is working with the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Mark Bowden, to explore every possibility to return to the south, ?If conditions allow, and if the necessary security clearance from the UN is granted.? WFP also indicated that it would consult with donor governments to ensure that they are comfortable with the complexities and risks associated with any resumption of humanitarian operations. Displacement The newly arrived drought?affected IDPs in Mogadishu from other southern regions are now estimated at 9,000 households (approximately 54,000 people) in the last three months. Those arriving in the last month are said to be in worse?off conditions and in need of food, nutrition and health support. In Gedo region, the towns of Ceel Waaq, Doobley and Doolow are being used as transit points by the drought?affected to enter into Kenya and Ethiopia. The new arrivals are also arriving in desperate situation in dire need of food, nutrition and health services. This week, the Dadaab refugee camps continued to receive a significant number of new arrivals from Somalia with 4,950 people registered; a total of 70,000 have been registered since January. Reports indicate that an average 27 drought?affected people from the southern regions are now arriving in northern towns of Gaalkacyo, Garowe and Bossaso in Puntland on a daily basis in the last two weeks. This may soon result in significant increase in the number of IDPs in the already congested settlements in these areas while some have remained in the streets begging to survive. In Hiraan region, reports indicate that drought?affected people are also moving to urban areas in search for reprieve following the loss of their animals, the main source of their livelihoods. |
| Eastern Africa Drought Humanitarian Report No. 4 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 12:07:05 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Djibouti, Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Uganda I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES ? Conditions in the drought-affected areas in the region have led to increased numbers in need. Ethiopia?s population in need increased from 3.2 to 4.5 million and Somalia?s from 2.5 to 2.85 million. Kenya?s main season assessment will conclude in August but planning figures indicate needs will rise from 2.4 to between 3 and 3.5 million. In Djibouti, an estimated 120,000 people require urgent assistance. ? The total population in need in the region is about 10.7 million people. This figure includes some 778,000 refugees hosted in Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti. Almost all the new refugees are from Somalia and are arriving in shocking health and nutritional conditions. More than 533,000 Somali refugees live in the region, mostly in neighbouring Kenya (423,000) and Ethiopia (150,000). ? Access to previously inaccessible areas in Somalia may be opening up but it will take time to ramp up operations even if assurances of humanitarian space from non-State actors are honoured. ? Good rains in Uganda and Burundi have reduced the estimates of need and this report will from now on only cover Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia. The situation in Eritrea is not independently verifiable due to lack of data. ? Out of the US$ 1.87 billion in humanitarian requirements for Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia, only some 45 percent have been funded at mid-year, leaving a gap of about $1 billion. |
