KEY MESSAGES • At the time of data collection, households reported insufficient amounts of food and drinking water as their greatest challenges. Since then, drought11 conditions have deepened across many parts of Somalia, further straining access to food and water while increasing pressure on livelihoods and eroding household coping capacities.2 • Alongside climate shocks, conflict continued to drive displacement. Newly displaced households, often fleeing hostilities and drought, faced compounding vulnerabilities, including inadequate shelter conditions and greater barriers to accessing schools, marketplaces, water points, and health facilities. • Amid funding constraints and a narrowed scope of humanitarian programming,3 as well as persistent insecurity, unstable access to services, and a lack of economic opportunities, longer-term recovery remained elusive as households prioritised support that could help secure basic necessities like food, healthcare, and shelter.
