Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard, January - July 2024

The 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP), estimates that 6.9 million people need humanitarian and protection assistance, a 17 per cent reduction compared to 2023. Inter-sectoral needs have reduced with no district classified as ‘catastrophic’ in 2024 compared to 11 in 2023. The 2024 HNRP requires US$1.6 billion to meet the needs of 5.2 million people, a 37 per cent reduction from $2.6 billion that was required to aid 7.6 million people in 2023. Despite some improvements, recurrent climatic shocks such as droughts and floods, conflict and insecurity, disease outbreaks and widespread poverty continue to exacerbate humanitarian needs. An estimated 4 million people face crisis or emergency food insecurity and 1.7 million children face acute malnutrition, including 430,000 who are likely to be severely malnourished in 2024.
