|
Drought |
Somalia |
The likely impacts of the 2015-16 El Niño events may be severe in areas characterized by some of the worst humanitarian and human development indicators in the world. It is foreseen that Somalia could experience exacerbated drought conditions as early as end of September 2015 to December 2015, especially in Somaliland as well as flooding in southern and central regions and Puntland. Food insecurity is likely to worsen by the end of the year. This will be due to below-average agricultural production, poor rainfall in some pastoral and agro-pastoral areas, trade disruption in the most conflict-affected areas, and continued displacement. |
