SOMALIA: Humanitarian Snapshot (as of 5 December 2014) The people of Somalia continue to face a severe humanitarian crisis. Over 1 million Somalis are unable to meet their basic food requirements, an increase of 20 percent since February 2014. This is the first time the number of people in need of life-saving assistance has increased since the end of the devastating famine in 2011. In addition, the food security situation of over 2.1 million people remains fragile, bringing the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance to 3.2 million.1

Humanitarian response With funding received in 2014, humanitarian partners have been able to respond to the most urgent needs, with particular focus on life saving activities. More resources are needed to ensure DJIBOUTI gains made are not reversed. Awdal
