Overview of Position

• The humanitarian situation in Somalia is one of the most complex and protracted crises in the world. The context is extremely volatile, fuelled by recurrent and cyclical climate shocks such as drought and floods, armed conflict and insecurity, combined with political and socioeconomic factors – all of which continue to drive humanitarian needs.
• Somalia is currently experiencing its’ fourth consecutive season with poor rainfall since late 2020. As a result, on 23 November 2021 the Somali government declared a national drought emergency. In addition, the current forecasts indicate a risk of a firth season with poor rainfall. Somalia is thus at risk of facing a severe drought and food insecurity comparable to 2011.
• The number of people in need of humanitarian assistance has increased by 30% – from 5.9 million people in 2021 to 7.7 million people in 2022. This increase is mainly due to updated population figures and the increased needs in nutrition and WASH. Without humanitarian assistance, almost 7.1 million are expected to face IPC Phase 3 levels or worse by the end 2022. Approximately 1.5 million children under the age of five are likely to be acutely malnourished until September 2022.
