Somalia’s civil war drives families into desperate conditions in refugee camps
Families fleeing the devastating effects of Somalia’s prolonged civil war are paying the highest price as they seek refuge in makeshift camps across the country.
Internal conflicts have deeply scarred the nation, made worse by recurrent droughts and famine.
In displacement camps, the need for basic humanitarian supplies is critical, with living conditions particularly severe for women and children.
Overwhelmed local aid organizations are calling for urgent international intervention to address the escalating needs of Somalia’s displaced population.
The country has been plagued by insecurity for years, with the main threats emanating from al-Shabaab and the ISIS terror groups.
Since 2007, al-Shabaab has been fighting the Somali government and the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia.
That is a multidimensional mission authorized by the African Union and mandated by the UN Security Council.
