About 96,000 people have left their homes, especially in central and southern areas, due to lack of access to food and water. The country is facing a high risk of a fourth consecutive failed rainy season, following the poor performance of recent rains. Based on historical impacts of previous droughts, it is likely that the number of people facing acute food insecurity will increase. The deteriorating situation has escalated humanitarian needs, at a time when more than 5.9 million people need assistance amid funding shortages and access constraints. We intend to assist 360 drought affected people in Mudug in Galmudug by giving food, NFI and drinking water. They are risk of dying of hunger, thirst and malnutrition.
