Responding to COVID-19 in Somalia and Somaliland amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global crisis. MSF is doing all it can to respond to the pandemic in Somalia and Somaliland, as we strive to keep essential life-saving activities running in a context of global supply shortages and restrictions on the movement of staff. Even before the COVID-19 crisis erupted, Somalia faced significant humanitarian challenges. Millions of people have been forced from their homes by conflict and climate-related disasters such as droughts, locust swarms and heavy flooding. In recent weeks, MSF has been coordinating with the Somali health authorities, the World Health Organization and other health actors to prepare for the arrival of COVID-19 in Somalia and Somaliland.
