Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard - March 2014 (issued on 12 May 2014)

SITUATION OVERVIEW The military offensive in southern and central Somalia, which began in early March by the Somali National Armed Forces (SNAF) and the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) slowed down with the start of the seasonal rains. According to the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, about 73,000 people have moved due to the offensive, including 21,000 unverified movements in Hiraan region. Aid agencies have been supporting people where they can and continue to organize rapid assessments in newly accessible areas to determine urgent humanitarian needs among affected people In addition, about 2.9 million people across the country still need immediate life-saving or livelihood support. One in seven children under the age of five, or 203,000 children, are estimated to be acutely malnourished. More than 50,000 of these children are severely malnourished and are at risk of death. Poor basic social services continue to undermine the resilience and coping mechanisms of the vulnerable people. With only 15 per cent (US$143 million) of the Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP) requirements received, humanitarians need urgent and sustained funding to save lives and strengthen the resilience to shocks of the vulnerable people.

Enhance resilience of vulnerable households and communities through investments that enhance the productivity of livelihoods, the provision of access to basic social services and predictable safety nets through community and social infrastructure, and secure land tenure and durable solutions for IDPs and returnees.

3

Improve the protective environment by strengthening the quality and monitoring of responsive services, and by supporting traditional community mechanisms and legal frameworks, including preventive mechanisms.

4

Strengthen the capacity and coordination of NGOs, affected communities and local, regional and national level authorities, and mitigate risks and implement effective emergency preparedness and response.

Gaps ● Due to limited funding support for livelihood assets and investments is very low despite this being the critical month for agricultural support in the crop producing areas.

● The military offensive has affected market availability of goods in some districts of Bakool which is affecting food access.The cluster is continuing to monitor the food security situation.

Response LOGISTICS

● Three mobile storage units (MSU) remain available in Mogadishu to organizations in Somalia on a lease basis, free of charge.The organizations leasing the MSUs will be responsible for transporting them to their final destinations, and installing and managing the units themselves. ● Congestion was experienced at the Djibouti port. Other ports reported busy, but normal flow of cargo. The cluster loaded about 731 metric tonnes of cargo for four humanitarian organizations. For more information, contact: [email protected]
