Somalia

Somalia: Operation Overview, June 2023

Attachments

Background

• Moderate to heavy rains have been reported in several areas of Somalia, causing flash and riverine floods.

• In the worst affected district of Belet Weyne and surrounding areas, flood water has started receding, but stagnant pools are hindering the return of displaced people and increasing the risk of waterborne diseases.

• Several parts of the country are likely to experience replenished groundwater sources and regenerated vegetation, but much more rainfall will be required to effectively relieve the impact of extended drought.

• Partners have stepped up assistance to people affected by floods in various regions of Somalia

Operational Highlights

Coordination

• The Logistics Cluster held two National Logistics Cluster Coordination meetings on 06 and 20 June 2023.

• The Logistics Cluster, in collaboration with IMPACCT, remains at the forefront of leading the import and customs clearance technical working group.
