Somalia faces humanitarian crisis amid El Niño threat
Somalia is facing a severe humanitarian crisis driven by drought, conflict, displacement, and economic hardship. Aid worker Sarah Easter warns that the situation is set to worsen as the El Niño climate phenomenon threatens the country with flooding starting in October.
International aid is declining, forcing organizations like CARE to close 50 health stations within the country. Displaced families are struggling for survival; in camps such as those in Dhahar, many rely on extreme measures to secure food and water. Some families have been forced to move multiple times due to violence from armed groups, leaving them with no remaining reserves to cope with upcoming environmental disasters.
