The recent escalation of clan conflict in Luuq, Gedo Region, and the resulting displacement of 5,658 individuals (943 households) to surrounding villages like Dhanaawe, Horma Liiban, Dogob, and others is deeply concerning. Many displaced families now find themselves in overcrowded, open spaces with little or no access to essential services, intensifying the region’s already critical humanitarian needs. The lack of services is severely impacting the affected communities' well-being.
Humanitarian response efforts face significant access challenges, particularly in hard-to-reach areas like Yurkud,
Neefso, Elbon, and Bashiiro, where some displaced individuals have settled. With Luuq designated as a priority district by the Humanitarian Country Team and supported by active Protection and CCCM clusters, collaboration with local agencies including government agencies is essential. Addressing these access constraints and mobilizing support to reach these vulnerable populations is crucial to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Gedo Region. -
