Somalia Humanitarian Fund, December 2024

In 2024, the humanitarian situation in Somalia saw slight improvements as compared to previous years, marked by a devastating drought (2020-23) and severe flooding (late 2023). This reversed the increasing trend of people affected by climate shocks leading to internal displacement. For the first time in years, conflict-generated insecurity was the leading cause for internal displacement, as inter-clan fighting escalated in Mudug and Gedo regions. However, the increased frequency of cyclical drought and floods strains coping capacities and resilience of millions of Somalis. About 6 million people in the country need humanitarian assistance. Across all population groups, women, children, people with disabilities and minority groups remain disproportionately impacted.
