KEY MESSAGES
• The ongoing insecurity, coupled with climate crises (drought and floods), may be limiting access in Rab Dhuure district and exacerbating humanitarian needs particularly with regards to Food Security, Livelihoods, Healthcare and WASH needs.
• Asset depletion, including the loss of crops and livestock, coupled with rising food prices, is likely contributing to increased food insecurity.
• Access to clean water, improved sanitation facilities and healthcare services remained consistently limited in the hardto-reach settlements of Rab Dhuure district. The use of surface water has been increasing, reflecting a growing trend over time. This could increase the risk of cholera outbreaks, leaving these vulnerable populations at heightened risk of disease and further hardship.
