Fafah-Dhun administration warns of food shortage

The administration of Fafah-Dhun locality has expressed concern over food shortage in the area following failed harvest as a result of rain shortage.

The area chief Adan Shuqul Nunow told Goobjoog News hundreds of internally displaced people, IDPs and residents are facing food shortage after the season’s harvest failed to produce enough food.

He added that his administration had no capability to manage the situation and that there is no aid agency operating in the area.

He pointed out that the area houses many families from refugee camps in Kenya and others who were displaced by the ongoing clashes between Somali government forces and Al-Shabab fighters in the region.

“About 30 IDP families have arrived in area and that has worsened the situation which was already failing.Many people are at a risk of death out of hunger and disease yet there are no medical facilities in the area,” said Nunow

Nunow has called on the Federal government, well-wishers and NGOs to help his people alleviate the suffering.
