Humanitarian Overview
Current Context
An estimated 97,000 people have been
affected by the flooding of the Wadi
Shabelle river in Gode, Somali Region.
Government, UN and NGOs are investigating
the extent of the damage caused by the
floods. The most affected areas include
Ferfer, Kelafo and Mustahil woredas in Gode
Zone while flooding has also hit
communities in East and West Ime, Gunagado,
Dollo Bye and Dolo Odo woredas. The floods
may contribute to an alleviation of stress
upon livelihoods by increasing the
availability of pasture and grazing land
for livestock, however, reports indicate
that there has been widespread loss of
assets as well as significant damage to
crops placing livelihoods under further
strain in the short-term.
