DR-2025-000172-SOM
Drought,Somalia: Poor rainfall, flooding and persistent conflict are driving 3.4 million people into high levels of acute food insecurity between July and September 2025. This includes around 625,000 people (3 percent of the population) experiencing Emergency (IPC Phase 4) levels of acute food insecurity, and 2.8 million people (15 percent of the population) in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis).

flooding disrupted crop production in some agropastoral and riverine communities, triggering population displacement and undermining both livelihood activities and access to markets.
