Response Food and Drought Crisis in Somalia

Humanitarian Relief Update: August 2025
By Mohamud Hassan Ali | Project Leader

Dear Esteemed Donors,

We are pleased to provide you with a brief update on our humanitarian relief activities in Somalia since our last report in May 2025. Thanks to your continued generosity, HRDC has been able to expand food and relief assistance to some of the most vulnerable communities.

Progress Achieved (May–August 2025):

• Distributed food packages to an additional 420 households in Lower Shabelle and Bay, directly supporting over 2,200 individuals.
• Provided emergency nutritional support to children under five and pregnant women, reducing immediate malnutrition risks.
• Initiated partnerships with local community committees to improve distribution efficiency and transparency.

Challenges:

• Ongoing inflation continues to affect food purchase power.
• New displacement due to localized floods has increased humanitarian needs.
• Limited funding restricts our capacity to expand operations into remote IDP camps.

Next Steps & Appeal:
Our goal for the coming quarter is to reach at least 2,000 more vulnerable families with essential food and nutritional support. To achieve this, we kindly request your continued partnership and support through donations and advocacy.

Your contributions remain a beacon of hope for families striving to survive and rebuild amidst crisis. Together, we are making a tangible difference.

With heartfelt appreciation,
HRDC Team
