Somalia: Drought and Famine Prevention Response Dashboard (January - June 2022) (As of 17 July 2022)

[LashayaHughes]

A total of 4.1 million people were reached with drought response and famine prevention activities between January and June 2022, representing 65 per cent of the 6.41 million people targeted. The number of districts under Operational Priority Area (OPA) 1 has increased from 26 to 34 due to the spike in the number of people facing catastrophic levels of food insecurity (IPC Phase 5). The response overall continues to shift towards the priority areas. Some 62 per cent of the 4 million people targeted in OPA 1 districts and 60 per cent of the 1.8 million targeted in OPA 2 districts have received assistance. The operational focus on OPA 1 has further increased, with 60 per cent of all people reached in June were in those districts, compared to 52 per cent of those reached in May. The Food Security response is particularly high, with 70 per cent of the target reached, while Health, Nutrition and WASH interventions continue to be scaled up. Of the 3.63 million people targeted in districts in IPC Phase 5, 2.2 million (62 per cent) have received assistance.

They have two seasons every year. The rains start in the Ethiopian highlands and then runs downstream to Somalia like clockwork two times every year. This precious freshwater is never harvested and just gorges into the salty Indian Ocean. Any country with a ounce of a brain would be harvesting that massive amounts of precious water into dams, reservoirs for drinking water or a network of irrigation canals for agriculture. Instead these Somalis do nothing other than beg for foreign aid or stupid western NGOS that fool them into thinking they are helping you

Bingo..... It is jello between the ears. Why would I care about water catchment/harvesting when I can brag about how laandheere I am in fadhi-ku-dirir sessions, who cares about the wellbeing of my society, I'd rather put all of my energy on how our qabiil might dominate yours in the coming pseudo elections. There is no hope for the Somalis in Somalia.
