Aid agencies say the Ongoing conflict in Somalia is worsening the humanitarian situation, making it harder for organizations to access the populations in most need of assistance.
In a joint statement issued in Mogadishu, the Somali capital, local and international agencies said the recently displaced 185,000 people due to the fighting in Las Anod in northern Somalia require urgent humanitarian assistance.
According to the UN, Somalia is witnessing a five-year historic dry spell — a situation not seen in more than 40 years — and an expected sixth failed rainy season is bound to displace many more families, as famine looms on the horizon.
