Sequía — Somalia

Somalia has been experiencing a prolonged drought that began in 2015 and remains ongoing. The drought affects water and food availability across the country, with particular impact in regions like Jubaland. This is a high-severity situation that has persisted for an extended period.

If you are currently in Somalia, be aware that water scarcity and limited food supplies may affect your access to essential resources. Local infrastructure and services may be strained. Plan ahead for your water and food needs, and avoid relying on local supplies that may be limited or reserved for residents facing acute shortages.

Follow guidance from local authorities and your embassy regarding movement and resource availability in affected areas. Contact local health authorities for advice on water safety and food security. Monitor official updates on the situation. This alert is based on information from ReliefWeb.
