TRT World spoke to the Islamic Relief Worldwide team who visited Somalia's Iftin camp for internally displaced people in the Gedo region, where authorities reported 118 people died within one week
Somalia has been facing an unprecedented drought following three consecutive failed rainy seasons that has led to the displacement and death of scores of people.
The organisation assists people across nearly 40 countries who have been affected by natural and manmade disasters. It doubled its Hunger Appeal to $26 million last month, to collect funds for the drought-stricken country and its neighbours. “Two weeks ago we visited a camp and our team [saw] a number of children dying, people with no basic health care and facilities such as food and water,” said Mohamed.
The organisation not only provides immediate relief to vulnerable communities but also helps them build economic empowerment in order to be more resilient to further challenges that come their way, explains Mohamed. So while the drought can be blamed “purely on climate change” according to Mohamed, “there are of course compounded factors such as conflict and instability within the country.”
