| Humanitarian Bulletin - Weekly Humanitarian Highlights in Ethiopia, 8 August 2011 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 14:34:00 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Ethiopia, Somalia Food Security Update Growing food insecurity across the southern zones of Somali region is driven by a combination of factors, including the failure of the October to December 2010 deyr (short) rains and the poor performance of the April to June 2011 gu (main) rains. According to the Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector (DRMFSS), as highlighted in the revised Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD), the poor performance of the rains resulted in scarcity of pasture and water, poor crop production in agro-pastoralist areas, poor livestock body condition, livestock disease, high livestock mortality and the slaughter of calves, outbreaks of disease, including diarrhoeal diseases and measles, and increased malnutrition. The decline in cereal availability, continuing poor market access, illegal trade restrictions placed on the Somali region by Somalia, and the temporary suspension of WFP relief food distributions have pushed local cereal prices up by more than 250 per cent, substantially reducing household purchasing power in all livelihood zones. The situation is particularly critical in woredas (districts) nearer to the borders with Somalia and Kenya, including Bare and Dolobay (Afder zone), Dollo Ado, Hudet and Moyale (Liben zone), Ferfer, Kelafo and Mustahil (Gode zone), Debeweyin and Shilabo (Korahe zone), Danot, Geladi and Warder (Warder zone). Food security for pastoralists in parts of Shinile zone, particularly in Ayisha, Erer and Shinile woredas ? which did not receive any rain in the month of July ? is also deteriorating. The karan rains (July to October) are the main season rains for northern Somali region bordering Afar and Djibouti. For more information, contact: infodrmfss@dppc.gov.et |
