2023  CC IFRC Somalia Unified Plan Five consecutive poor or failed rainy seasons, escalating food prices, and drought and conflict-induced population displacement have declined the coping capacity of poor and vulnerable populations across Somalia, driving widespread and critical food insecurity. Extreme drought has left Somalia on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe, driving widespread food insecurity and malnutrition, destroying crops and livestock, and forcing many people to leave their homes for food and water. Consecutive shocks have deteriorated the resilience of an already vulnerable Somali population. Decades of conflict, recurrent climatic shocks, and families still recovering from a 2011 famine resulting in the deaths of about 250,000 people, followed by the Extreme drought in 2017, have eroded sustainable livelihoods, environments,and community resilience To prevent famine, there is an urgent need for scaling up integrated humanitarian aid, including cash and voucher assistance, nutrition, WASH, and health-related interventions.
