Somalia has experienced complex emergency conditions through the last sixteen years. The natural disaster caused the severe hardship, especially on the rural community, villages and towns nearby the two rivers (Juba and Shabelle).

The last heavy rain over the Ethiopian highlands has resulted in rising water levels of the both rivers in Somalia and caused floods due to weak embankments and water overflow. 

In southern Somalia, the flash floods and river floods forced the vulnerable community to leave their homes, killed tens of people, displaced hundreds and destroyed their property in the past three weeks.

Flood stricken regions are Gedo, Middle and Lower Shabelle, Middle and Lower Juba, and areas around Mogadishu.

The displaced people form those regions are suffering from insecurity of food materials and health problems.
