The following is the summary of the Ministry Press Release today:
South West State has made the humanitarian crisis its top priority, with President @Laftagaren backing the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs for a coordinated response.
The Ministry recommends to President of Federal Republic of Somalia to elevate responding this crisis as #1 National Agenda priority by leading resource mobilization, convene high level summit in Mogadishu and ensure timely flow of resources to States.
(SoDMA) is in place at the federal level, its operational capacity is insufficient and not in a position to independently lead a response of this magnitude.
To strengthen local response, SWS will activate District Emergency Response Committees and coordinate closely with OCHA, clusters, ABC structures, and CELL meetings in Baidoa for rapid, real‑time action.
The current Humanitarian Crises in Somalia is urgent and worrisome.
