IDP in Guri’el town appealed for urgent humanitarian aid

Hundreds of Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Guri’el town have appealed for urgent humanitarian aid as they face dire situation caused by the drought athat has affected the regions in the recent past.

Halimo jim’aale Adan said hundreds of people who were displaced during the clashes in Da’adheer localities are facing desperate situation.

“The situation is now critical, and without sufficient response from Somali government, the International NGOs and aid agencies, it could develop into a new humanitarian crisis,” said Adan.

She said hundreds of families living in IDP camps were facing a dire situation as food was running out and water shortages beginning to bite.

“We have so many problems, including continued hunger, and many of us are without shelter, we have nothing to eat. We live in the open where our children just wander around as they do not go to school,” said Adan.
