Somalia’s Drought Emergency Is Driving Displacement and a Health Crisis

After consecutive failed rainy seasons in Somalia, wells have run dry, water prices have skyrocketed, and more than three million people have been forced to leave their homes. Families now live in overcrowded informal camps around Mudug and Baidoa, struggling to find safe drinking water and watching their children suffer from malnutrition and disease. MSF teams in Mudug and Baidoa are scaling up essential services—running outreach mobile clinics, treating malnutrition, distributing safe water and reinforcing outbreak preparedness—to protect displaced families and vulnerable host communities while calling for urgent support to sustain health, nutrition and WASH services.
