Somalia ends year as drought tightens grip, funding gaps widen
People affected by worsening drought after consecutive failed rainy seasons gather at the Alla Futo camp for internally displaced persons on the outskirts of Mogadishu, Somalia.
Somalia is ending 2025 facing another drought emergency, which officials attribute to the worsening effects of climate change.
On November 10, the federal government declared an emergency following an alert from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), warning that critical water and food shortages were spreading across the country.
