Summary:
• Somalia is facing rapidly intensifying drought conditions nationwide, with severe to extreme levels following the failed October to December 2025 Deyr rains.
• Water sources are depleting while livelihoods collapse as crops fail, livestock weaken and die, and population displacements increase, with the January to March 2026 dry Jilaal season expected to worsen the impact.
• The deteriorating drought is projected to trigger widespread displacement, hunger, and malnutrition unless urgent and timely actions are taken.
