Horn of Africa Drought Crisis Situation Report No. 5 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 18:44:48 +0000
Source:  UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
Country:  Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya

This report is produced by OCHA in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It is issued by OCHA Eastern Africa. It covers the period from 15 to 21 July 2011. The next report will be issued on or around 26 July.

I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES

? On 20 July, the United Nations declared a state of famine in southern Bakool and Lower Shabelle regions of southern Somalia. Famine may also spread to other southern regions in the coming two months, if urgent interventions are not undertaken. Across the country, nearly half of the Somali population ? 3.7 million people ? is now in crisis. An estimated 2.8 million people of those are in the south.

? Following Al-Shabaab?s announcement in early July to allow humanitarian access to areas under its control in southern Somalia, agencies have been making initial contacts and increasing response where programmes were already underway.

? The Kenyan Prime Minister on 14 July announced the government?s intention to allow UNHCR and partners to put refugees into the Ifo II site in Dadaab. The actual relocation of refugees to the new site has however not begun and preparations have begun at other sites that have could accommodate the overflow but which do not have the structures and facilities of Ifo II.

? The Kenyan Cabinet in response to the food insecurity situation in the country authorized an expenditure of 9 billion shillings (US$100m) to purchase emergency food supplies for affected Kenyans, and further stipulated conditions for the importation, by millers only, of grain from Genetically Modified sources.

? The third refugee camp in Ethiopia which opened at the end of June is already full; work has started on a fourth camp to hold up to 40,000 people.

? Over US$1.1billion has so far been committed to the response, but a shortfall of $850m remains, this before additional costs of expanding the Somalia operation.

Source:  UNOSAT

This map illustrates the mean average rainfall accumulation by State administrative units in Nigeria. This total estimate was derived from the Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission (TRMM) precipitation dataset at a spatial resolution of approximately 25km for this region, and covers the dates from 1 to 16 July 2011. It is possible that precipitation levels may have been underestimated for local areas, and is not a substitute for ground station measurements. This map was produced in support to Rivers State government, Nigeria.
