The situation, exacerbated by incessant riverine and flash flooding, shows no signs of abating until November 21, with impending heavy rains predicted in several regions, including the Bay area, Somaliland, and Galmudug. The looming threat of disease outbreaks, notably cholera, looms large, amplifying the urgency of the situation.
Among the hardest-hit areas, the Bay region in South West State bears the brunt, accounting for 37% of those affected, followed by Gedo and Mudug regions at 23% and 17%, respectively. Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in various sites, including Howl Wadaag, Horseed, Berdaale, and Isha sites in Baidoa, Bay Region, have been displaced due to the devastating floods, highlighting the acute humanitarian crisis.
The Somali National Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA) has issued a stark warning, emphasizing that floods induced by the El Nino phenomenon will persist as water levels in key rivers continue to rise due to torrential rains in the country and the Ethiopian highlands.
Tragically, the floods have resulted in a staggering death toll of 42 individuals since October 4th, with concerns of further fatalities as the crisis persists. Abdullahi Abdifatah Hassan, Executive Director of the Civil Affairs Commission (CACC), highlighted the unprecedented nature of these floods, submerging cities like Galkacyo, Baidoa, Baledweyne, Luuq, Bardera, and Burdhubo in the southern and central regions, rendering vital infrastructure useless.
He emphasized the dire need for immediate attention and assistance in critical regions like Galkacyo, Baidoa, and Bardhere, calling upon local and national authorities and humanitarian organizations to intervene swiftly.
The toll on infrastructure, including the loss of the Bardera Bridge—a crucial link facilitating transportation and commercial activities in the Gedo region—epitomizes the catastrophic consequences of climate change-induced disasters. This infrastructure, pivotal since its construction in 1978, has succumbed to the forces unleashed by climate change, severing vital connections between regions and neighboring nations.
The gravity of the humanitarian crisis has prompted the designation of the current situation as a "national humanitarian emergency," compelling the administration to pledge concerted efforts to address the catastrophic floods wreaking havoc across the nation.
Information Minister Daud Aweis issued a supplementary caution, highlighting the southern region's vulnerability to further flooding, detailing the deterioration of crucial infrastructure and the submergence of essential institutions and farmlands.
In the face of this escalating crisis, urgent and comprehensive intervention is imperative. Somalia, grappling with the devastating repercussions of climate change-induced floods, requires immediate collaborative efforts from both local and international entities to mitigate the profound human suffering and facilitate the country's recovery from this unprecedented catastrophe.
