Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard - May 2014 (issued on 27 June 2014)
SITUATION OVERVIEW Somalia’s fragile humanitarian situation is at risk of sliding back into emergency. Some 857,000 people, most of them displaced, are already in need of urgent life-saving assistance at least through June 2014. Early warnings indicate that the combination of the delayed April-June rains, a disrupted planting season and rising food prices in areas affected by the ongoing military offensive could further worsen the humanitarian situation in the country. The number of people in need may further increase if the main Gu rainy season (April to June) performs poorly. The resumption of rainfall since early May has helped alleviate moisture stress on planted crops in agriculture dependent areas and replenished water and pasture in pastoral areas. The Gu harvest will largely depend on continued rains through June. Despite this serious situation, funding for Somalia in 2014 is critically low. A total of US$933 million is required to meet humanitarian needs for 2014, of which only 25 per cent (US$230 million) has been funded. Humanitarians need urgent and sustained funding to save lives and strengthen the resilience to shocks of the vulnerable people.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES 1
Provide timely and quality life-saving assistance to people in humanitarian emergency.
2
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.

Response
●The cluster supported about 32 per cent of the 850,000 people targeted with sustainable access to water through rehabilitation of shallow wells and boreholes and distribution of household ceramic filters. The cluster reached 18 per cent of 1.27 million people targeted for temporary safe water.
● Further, 37 per cent of the 595,000 people targeted, are newly accessing sanitation facilities (latrines) and 23 per cent of the 1.5 million target have benefited from interactive hygiene promotion sessions. ● Funding for the cluster continues to be critically low, affecting delivery of services. Access to newly liberated areas remains a challenge due to blockade of main supply routes by Al-Shabaab.
