2024 UNICEF Somalia Annual Report
End-year results
Highlights
The humanitarian situation in Somalia in 2024 continued to be highly complex and challenging, driven by multiple, overlapping crises, including armed conflict, extreme weather shocks, and disease outbreaks. Earlier in the year, the El Niño-induced floods severely impacted 2.4 million people, including 1.5 million children, leading to massive displacement and exacerbating already high levels of acute malnutrition and overwhelming fragile healthcare systems. Compounding the crisis, persistent drought conditions due to La Niña, coupled with anticipated failed Deyr rains in late 2024, are forecasted to continue into 2025, further heightening food insecurity and water scarcity, especially in the Central and Southern regions.
