The World Health Organization (WHO) took a significant step on Wednesday, unveiling a new project designed to provide life-saving interventions to nearly 900,000 individuals in Somalia by 2024.
This initiative comes in response to the ongoing challenges faced by Somalis dealing with the repercussions of extreme climate events, including devastating floods and prolonged droughts. These climate-related disasters have had a profound impact on communities, affecting everything from access to clean water and food security to overall health and well-being.
Through this project, the WHO aims to implement targeted strategies that address both immediate needs and long-term resilience, ensuring that affected populations receive the necessary support to navigate and recover from these extreme weather events.
