Due to the recent floodings in Somalia people are finding themselves in a crisis. The effected communities in Beledweyne District in Hiiraan and Gedo regions in Somalia needs urgent assistance in WASH activities and EFSL (emergency food security and livelihood). The goal is to reach 34.500 persons with assistance and thereby improve the quality of life. This intervention targets agro pastoralist within host and IDP communities affected by floods, mainly focusing on the most vulnerable groups including women, the elderly and children in targeted areas. The vulnerability assessment undertaken by KAALO is to identify settlements that would be affected by the floods of the anticipated decline in food security, accessibility and the feasibility of supporting through Cash, livelihood and WASH services and make sure that we target the most deprived members of the effected population particularly the elderly, women and children who are mostly effected and form the 70% of the total populations effected.
