juillet 28, 2011By The Numbers
Figures for populations in desperate need of life-saving assistance now stand at 12.4 million people. The launch of the Humanitarian Requirements Document for the Horn of Africa drought will take place Friday 29 July in Geneva. Providing donors with an immediate overview of most critical needs across the Horn, the document covers Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Djibouti.
The Humanitarian Requirements Document draws on the latest updates of each country’s humanitarian plan to outline both the needs and response plans arising from the drought, both country-specific and with a regional overview. It will reflect the major emergency revisions of the Somalia and Kenya CAPs currently being prepared by the Humanitarian Country Teams.Day By Day:
- 1,300 new refugees are arriving daily in Kenya from Somalia, to transit points and to the Dabaab camps
- Some 1,000 IDPs arrive to Mogadishu daily
- Several hundred Somalis are arriving in Ethiopia daily (a reduction from nearly 2,000 a day one month ago)
- Estimates indicate up to 2,500 people in southern Somalia will be dying of starvation each day by the end of August (USAID, 27 July)
Between July 15 and July 22 the total number of people in need of assistance rose by 858,145. An increase of another 817,379 people since July 22 means over 1.6 million more people are in need of assistance than less than a fortnight ago.
In addition to the documented, daily IDP flows, refugee numbers are rising fast as those in camps are successfully registered.Without the needed additional voluntary contributions, it is anticipated that the impact of the famine may spread throughout southern Somalia and over the borders into neighbouring countries within the coming one to two months.
Of the affected countries, Ethiopia has the highest absolute number of affected population as well as affected refugees, followed closely by Somalia (left hand chart)
However, when the population in need of assistance is looked at as a percentage of the total country population, Djibouti is 2nd-worst affected (right hand chart)
