Met Somalia's Deputy PM @SalahJama at #UNGA.
El Niño is bearing down on a country already on the edge. And we need to unblock every chokehold standing between food and the people who desperately need it.

Extreme heat is making life harder for families across Somalia. As food and water become scarce, children face a growing risk of malnutrition.
#UNICEF is providing lifesaving nutrition, clean water and healthcare.
Help reach more children. Donate now. unicef.link/4cW4ZNz
After 40 years of serving communities in Sool region, a vital health centre is facing closure due to funding shortages.
This is putting thousands at risk of losing essential healthcare.
The world must not look away.

What would it cost to save 87m lives this year? Less than 1% of what the world is spending right now on war.
As the biggest week of the year for the United Nations gets close, will world leaders listen? 👇 #UNGA
#Somalia: Boats are critical for delivering supplies and evacuations during flooding.
Ahead of #El Niño floods in Oct–Dec., @logcluster is delivering and maintaining boats in flood-prone areas such as Belet Weyne, Buloburte, Jowhar.
Early action supports communities to cope.
#Somalia is bracing for possible flooding as heavy #El Niño rains are projected in Oct–Dec.
In anticipation, @logcluster is supporting partners to preposition supplies, inc boats, in flood-prone areas.
But more resources are urgently needed. The 2026 #HNRP is only 30% funded.

Met with @GConway_UN and @OCHASom Head of Office to discuss preparedness for the forecast El Niño season. With over 90% chance of occurrence and potentially devastating flooding, we must act before the disaster hits.

Thanks to @OCHAFunds through #UNCERF for its generous US$1.4 million contribution to WFP Somalia’s drought response. This critical support will provide life-saving cash assistance to 32,268 people facing severe food insecurity in the Bay Region.

OCHA Somalia retweeted
On the ground in Hargeisa,SHF Deputy Fund Manager led a monitoring mission to drought response projects, assessing progress and engaging communities to hear firsthand from people benefiting from SHF-supported interventions and better understand their impact where it matters most.
The outlook for #Somalia's upcoming Deyr season highlights a credible risk of severe flooding if #ElNiño intensifies.
Preparedness today can help reduce humanitarian impacts tomorrow.
Early action saves lives.

📸 Social mobilizers play a vital role in connecting children and communities with the information they need to make informed choices.
Through interactive classroom sessions, they help build awareness, confidence and positive behaviours that can create lasting change.
OCHA Somalia retweeted
Conflict drives hunger. Hunger fuels instability. And the cycle is accelerating.
From Somalia to crises worldwide, conflict is taking away people’s homes, livelihoods and access to food, leaving families with impossible choices.
Acting @WFPChief Carl Skau urges the UN Security Council to turn recognition into action and help break the conflict-hunger cycle.
OCHA Somalia retweeted
Severe drought and shrinking humanitarian assistance are pushing more families in #Somalia into hunger and malnutrition.
Disease outbreaks, especially among children, are adding to an already dire situation.
Somalia needs support urgently.

🚨 Somalia is facing a near-certain El Niño this Deyr season, with a 97-100% probability of severe flooding Oct-Dec.
