As a result of below average April-June 2016 rains followed by a failed October-December 2016 rainy season in many areas, over 2.9 million Mogadishu people in Somalia face acute food Banaadir insecurity and will need emergency food aid in the coming months. In most areas, October-December 2016 rainfall was late, erratic, and below average. Many poor households did not harvest crops in early 2017 and have few livestock to sell as a coping mechanism. Humanitarian actors plan to reach 200 mi 2.8 million people per month with emergency assistance from March-June 2017.

*The mapped destination regions of the returnees are based on locations provided to UNHCR upon leaving Dadaab, Kenya. Data on refugee returns is not available for December 2016.
An estimated 1.1 million IDPs currently live in Somalia, with Shabeellaha about 192,000 additional people have Dhexe been displaced since November 2016 due to drought. Most people displaced by recent drought left rural parts of Bay, Mogadishu Mudug, and Lower Shabelle and settled in Banaadir urban areas. IOM and other UN agencies estimate that the number of IDPs, a highly vulnerable group in Somalia, will rise to 3 million by June if the April-June rains are below average or fail entirely. Additionally, since January 2016, 47,600 former Somali refugees have returned from Kenya’s Dadaab refugee camp to Somalia through UNHCR’s voluntary repatriation program and have settled in Gedo, Bay, Jubbada Hoose, and Banaadir.
