Acute Humanitarian Crisis in Somalia

 

 

 

 

 

Millions of people face severe food shortages in Somalia. Due to years of consecutive drought, people are hardest hit and face acute humanitarian crisis. With no rain in sight, the livestock continue to die thus collapsing the economy and forcing mass exodus of people to other areas. Somalia is a devastated land, a country that is unfortunately, totally forgotten despite its enormous problems and dire need for immediate assistance.


HCI has been on the ground delivering vital aid and assistance for many years. Countless lives have been saved through our projects in the affected areas of Somalia. We must intervene now to avert a full-scale disaster and save the lives of thousands of the vulnerable victims.

 

And so, HCI started working in the area, and has been successfully delivering aid to Somali Famine victim in Mogadishu, Afgoye and Shabeelle. At the Feeding Center, managed by Dr. Hawa Abdi, 900 individuals per day are receiving HCI's help. In a month a total of 27,000 people displaced by Drought and famine will be covered. In Mogadishu we are distributing monthly food packages. Beneficiaries receive approximately 15 pounds of culturally specific foods per household at a cost $150. 

HCI's immediate relief package includes: Cooked Food through Food Kitchen and Dry Food Hampers. Food products include items that are familiar to beneficiaries and that they frequently use such as: tomatoes, pasta, tuna, flour, sugar, jasmine rice, and vegetable oil.

We have been working in Somalia and other parts on the Horn of Africa (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan) for the past 20 years.

In the past year and a half alone, our aid to Somalia has been over one million dollars. Our projects include child sponsorship, orphanage, food assistance, water wells, water tankers, ambulance, other health services including massive medical aid packages and educational projects, as well as Recreation Centre for youth.

We urge you to urgently and generously support humanitarian aid in drought-stricken Somalia to avert a worsening situation of malnutrition and deterioration of food security.

 

Also, the Government of Canada, through CIDA, has announced increased support for relief efforts to assist the people victimized by the drought in East Africa. For every dollar Canadians contribute to registered Canadian charities responding to the East Africa drought, from July 6 until September 16, 2011, the Government of Canada will set aside one dollar for the Fund.
