    The Horn of Africa is facing severe weather and a food crisis, putting millions of people at risk. Prolonged drought and livestock losses have led to food shortages, making it difficult for people to access food. In Somalia alone, more than 3 million people are affected by the crisis, with children being the worst affected. Urgent global assistance is needed to prevent further loss of life.

    Impact of Extreme Weather on the Horn of Africa’s Agriculture

    Climate change has reduced crop yields in the Horn of Africa by up to 70 percent, posing a serious threat to food security. Five consecutive failed rains have led to severe drought in the region. The result is that nearly 20 million people are food insecure, and agricultural economies are on the verge of collapse.

    Rising Food Insecurity in the Horn area: A Growing Crisis

    Food shortages in the Horn area have reached critical levels, with more than 18 million people in need of urgent assistance. In Somalia alone, 3.4 million people are facing acute food insecurity, and this number is expected to rise by 30 percent in the coming months. The crisis is being driven by ongoing political instability and the growing economic pressures caused by the climate crisis.

    Humanitarian Efforts and Challenges in the Horn area

    International organizations have appealed for more than $4 billion in aid to address the food crisis in the Horn of Africa. However, only 35% of the funds have been received so far, delaying relief efforts. Aid delivery in the region is facing obstacles, such as substandard infrastructure and security issues, which are making it difficult to reach those in need.

    The Horn of Africa is currently experiencing severe weather and a food crisis, which is having a serious impact on the lives of millions of people. Urgent and sustained international assistance is needed to avert further devastation. Long-term measures that are climate-resilient and ensure food security are essential to break the cycle of poverty and hunger in the region.
