  • A total of 48 nutrition sites are still not accessible by health workers in Belet Wenye, Jowhar, Bulo Burte, Jalalaqsi and Balcad districts.

  • Increased needs for mobile/outreach services to reach flood-displaced populations, especially in Afmadow, Baardheere, Belet Wenye, Bulo Burte, Jalalaqsi, Luuq, Kismaayo and Balcad districts. The ongoing mobile/outreach teams are facing extreme logistical challenges to reach the displaced populations.

  • Majority of latrines in health/nutrition facilities were destroyed increasing the risk of AWD for nutrition beneficiaries accessing services.
