The Horn of Africa is in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. One of the most affected areas is southern Somalia.

 

As a result tens of thousands of people are in urgent need of assistance in Somalia.  

The ARF is particularly concerned about the situation in southern Somalia, which is affected seriously by droughts and lacks basic health and education services.

The absence of basic services such as health and education increased the negative effects of the drought in Somalia.
