GIEWS Update – Somalia

23 February 2017


KEY MESSAGES


§  A failed 2016 rainy season has led to extreme drought in the Horn of Africa and a more intense drought than that of 2010 in Somalia.

§  Extreme weather conditions, combined with high food prices, trade disruptions, population displacement and insecurity, are likely to have a very severe impact on the food security of millions of people in Somalia in the coming months.

§  The ongoing food crisis could be exacerbated by a poor rainfall season in 2017.
