Urgent Support Needed for Pastoralist and Agro-Pastoralist Households Impacted by the Desert Locust Crisis during the COVID-19 Pandemic

The worst outbreak of desert locusts in 70 years threatens to decimate rangeland and crops in the Horn of Africa and potentially the Sahel. There is risk of a Rift Valley Fever outbreak that further threatens livestock and human health. COVID-19 is already disrupting markets, driving up food prices, squeezing small businesses and limiting livestock trade in addition to the direct health impacts. Ongoing conflict further limits trade and humanitarian access in some areas, particularly in southern Somalia. Humanitarian response is currently inadequate. Acting now would save lives and be less costly than responding to what could become a famine.

Helping Flood-affected Households to recover

Bardera town experiences cyclical river flooding as a result of heavy rains in the Juba Basin and the Ethiopian highlands. This year’s Gu long rainfall caused flooding which affected more than 4000 households by destroying livelihood assets including farm lands, irrigation pumps and crops, displacing families and damaging shelter.

Update on ACTED’s Response to the Beirut Explosion

As rescue workers continue to trawl through the ruins of Beirut’s port area for survivors three days after the blast which decimated the Lebanese capital, ACTED is mobilising all available staff to provide immediate assistance to those hit hardest.

Building a community center to facilitate community information sharing

Baidoa currently hosts the largest IDP settlements in South-Central Somalia, as a result of the protracted conflict and consecutive shocks that caused internal displacements. According to IOM’s monthly movement trend tracking, the influx of new arrivals in the past six months in Baidoa has surpassed more than 16,500 households, creating 44 new IDP camps. The majority of people fled their areas of origin due to drought and conflict, choosing Baidoa town as a hub for safety as well as for access to humanitarian assistance.

Increased access to safe, sufficient and reachable drinking water

Through this project, ACTED’s team in Somalia are aiming to improve access to safe, clean and sufficient drinking water for vulnerable communities in Yufle of Sanag and Talex of Sool regions, to give them access to basic services and rebuild their dignity.
