Somalia: Rapid Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment of populations affected by conflict in Afmadow District - August 2024

This document assesses the needs of the population affected by Gu flooding in the Qoryooley District, Somalia.

The Afmadow District Council is distressed by the worsening humanitarian crisis following recent military offensives and airstrikes along the road between Afmadow and Kismayo. These violent conflicts have significantly impacted the local communities, displacing approximately 810 families.

Ongoing military operations have drastically worsened conditions for residents in Harbole, Bibi, Well-Marow, and surrounding villages. Airstrikes and armed clashes have damaged infrastructure and
disrupted livelihoods.

Consequently, many residents have been forced to abandon their homes, seeking safety and humanitarian assistance elsewhere.

The assessment was conducted on August 2024, with 21 quantitative, structured face-to-face key informant (Kl) interviews across 20 sites in Afmadow using a survey tool developed and adopted by Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG) and OCHA.
