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. |
