GIEWS Update – Somalia |

21 March 2018 KEY MESSAGES
§
Over one year of severe dry weather conditions affected forage and water availability in most pastoral and agro-pastoral areas, causing massive livestock
deaths.
§
Weather forecasts point to below-average precipitations during the April-June “gu” season and a full recovery of rangelands and animal conditions is
unlikely.
§
Prices of livestock have surged to very high levels in recent months, mainly due to reduced market supplies.
§
The food security situation is critical in pastoral central and northern regions, where almost 2 million people are severely food insecure.
§
Urgent support to pastoral agricultural livelihoods is needed to avert a deterioration of the food security situation and serious macro-economic implications. |
