Somalia Humanitarian Overview Vol. 4 Issue 8, August 2011 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 12:27:17 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya Main Developments The famine and nutrition situation continued to deteriorate during August. Six areas in southern Somalia are now in famine. Most recently, on 5 September, famine was declared in Bay region. This is in addition to southern Bakool, Lower Shabelle, parts of Middle Shabelle, IDPs in the Afgooye Corridor and the IDP community in Mogadishu. According to the Food and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) and the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWSNET), 4 million people are in crisis countrywide, 3 million of whom are in southern Somalia. At least 750,000 people in the famine areas are at risk of death in the coming four months unless emergency response is scaled up immediately. Already, tens of thousands of people have died, over half of whom are children. There was a signii cant increase in humanitarian assistance in August compared to July. Humanitarian aid arrived in Mogadishu and other parts of the south by air and sea including aid sent by many Gulf and Arab countries. Aid agencies are also trying to ensure people get aid where they are. The humanitarian community is particularly concerned about the situation in Bay, Bakool and Middle Shabelle regions, as coverage of the needs is the lowest. Coverage in Gedo and parts of Lower Juba region improved enabling the humanitarian community to reach populations in need. In Mogadishu, coverage continues to be limited. Al Shabaab?s withdrawal on 6 August has not automatically translated into improved access due to security concerns created by the power vacuum. Although on a slower scale, movements of famine-af ected people continued from the southern regions into Mogadishu, Ethiopia and Kenya. Nearly 5,000 people moved to Mogadishu in August compared to at least 28,000 new arrivals in July. An Emergency Revision of the Consolidated Appeal for 2011 was issued in August requesting for US$1.06 billion. Nearly $343 million has been received since July (compared with $320 million received during the i rst half of 2011). This has enabled the majority of the upscale of response to take place in August. |
