Dear All,

 

We are pleased to share the following FAO/GIEWS Special Alert.

 

 

GIEWS Special Alert                                           No. 341

14 November 2017

 

Somalia

 

Early season dryness severely affecting crops

and rangeland conditions

 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

·        Severe dryness during the whole month of October in the main cereal-producing areas negatively impacted the establishment and development of “deyr” crops, expected to be harvested in January 2018.

·        The dismal performance of the rainy season has exacerbated water and pasture shortages in pastoral areas, already affected by three consecutive poor rainy seasons.

§  With an already dire food security situation, a continued and effective provision of livelihood support and food assistance is needed to prevent famine outcomes.
