Over three million people are now in need of humanitarian assistance. The indicators from 2010 and 2014 are very similar, and in some cases worse now.
The Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU presented their Post Gu assessment in early September 2014. The situation has further deteriorated, due to a combination of drought, surging food prices and armed conflict. Over 1 million people are now in crisis and face acute food insecurity, up by 20 percent from 857, 000 just six months ago. The number of acutely malnourished children is 218,000, of whom 43,800 are severely malnourished and at immediate risk of death.
Mogadishu Internally Displaced People (IDP) remain in emergency despite reasonable humanitarian access. The recent influx of newly displaced people into the overcrowded and under-served Afgoye Corridor (also known as K7-13) is one of the reasons. The additional 10M EUR that European Commission’s Humanitarian aid and Civil Protection department ((ECHO) has made available are being contracted quickly and non-governmental and United Nations partners are using the funds for scaling up their response. ©Abdullahi Abdisalan/ EU/ ECHO
