Drought |
Djibouti |
Djibouti is currently facing worsening drought conditions due to the consequences of two consecutive failed rainy seasons, where erratic rainfall patterns adversely affected the replenishment of water catchments and the regeneration of pastures. Delayed rains resulted in abnormal pastoral migration patterns and a further depletion of already exhausted pasture and browse in all grazing areas. The rain has also been insufficient to replenish much-needed water sources throughout the country and it is below the threshold for pasture regeneration. All water catchments in the south are practically dry.
The food security and livelihoods of 5,000 families (28,650 people) have been severely compromised by limited water and pasture. Significant over-grazing of pasture and the depletion of water sources have contributed to widespread livestock deaths and a considerable decline in milk productivity. The remaining animals are in bad conditions due mainly to opportunistic parasites and diseases.

Volcano |
Comoros |
The Karthala Volcano has been showing signs of increasing activity over the past week. This activity has escalated further since Saturday 16 April in late afternoon, with clouds of ash and smoke affecting a number of villages in the Dimani and Pidjani regions in the eastern part of the island. Reports also indicate that some rivers flowing on the flank of the volcano have become polluted with volcanic debris.
On Sunday 17 April, populations from these villages began to flee in fear of gas and lava flow. According to the local authorities, as many as 10,000 people may have fled from their homes in the eastern region in order to seek refuge in other parts of the island. |
