Situation Update
- 4.6 million people are likely to face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse, including 784,000 in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) between April and June. Malnutrition remains critical, with 1.8 million children under five projected to suffer from acute malnutrition, including 479,000 with severe acute malnutrition.
- Drought conditions in Somalia varied between January and May 2025. Early in the year, drought affected much of central and northeastern regions. In April, gradual rainfall brought some relief to the south, while the north remained dry due to below-average and poorly distributed Gu rains. By May, localized Gu rainfall improved soil and vegetation in most southern and central regions. However, persistent dryness and inconsistent rainfall in some regions highlight the need for continued monitoring and support. Despite some improvement, food security and malnutrition remain fragile.
- Looking ahead, while the June to August 2025 Hagaa (dry) season is forecast to bring localized coastal rains, especially in Lower and Middle Juba, Lower Shabelle, and parts of northern coastal Somaliland, inland and central areas are expected to remain mostly dry. With the Hagaa season generally delivering minimal rainfall, pasture and water sources are likely to decline, especially where Gu rains were insufficient.
