that there will not be enough rain in Somalia and nearby regions for the next few months to successfully grow crops for the fifth season in a row, which has not happened since the group first started collecting data. And the outlook for 2023 remains equally bleak. According to the Climate Hazards Center, “crop harvests in Kenya, Somalia, and southern Ethiopia have been and will remain very poor, more than 9 million livestock have perished [and] water resources have become extremely scarce.
Despite the precision and volume of the data, however, many Americans are unaware of the situation. A recentof Americans aged 19 to 34 conducted by the IRC and YouGov found that almost 70% did not even know there was a drought in East Africa until they took the survey. This is despite the fact that the U.S. has given over $700 million in aid to the region, more than the rest of the world combined. “This seems to be an invisible famine,” says Gayle Smith, CEO of One.org, and former U.S.
The lack of awareness has surprised even longtime watchers of the region. “It has been, you know, third or fourth page news at best,” says Daniel Maxwell, the Henry J. Leir Professor in Food Security at the Friedman School of Nutrition at Tufts University, and a member of the Famine Review Committee for Somalia, who has also worked for humanitarian aid organizations in Africa for two decades.
from May, “and are struggling to take action at sufficient scale in response to early warning information.”Many aid agencies and some governmental organizations have tried to head off the disaster. The
Yet humanity has intelligence, resources and capabilities to end the poverty!
Time to do something fruitful elonmusk It's urgent UN UNICEF POTUS
If this is what Allah has planned for them, who are we to interfere.
How could people know about it if you only talk about Ukraine ?
Well then talk to your buddies at the federal reserve to allow contracts to build adequate irrigation.
no..water..no..life
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Because double standard
Not paying attention because they're too busy screaming 'slava ukraine'. Seems that's the only country that matters
Somalia was the only Muslim country to condemn genocide against Uyghurs
joecimperman Are there any local efforts happening on getting water to Somalia? I’d like to help.
Because of their skin color
Because they are self-centered.....they always understand their own profit.
Cuz they are Americans duh
This is not happening,
Americans hate Black people. Even the Black Americans hate African people.
joecimperman I hate the argument “we have our own problems.” Especially because we have problems in our country that could be fixed but aren’t, so what’s the excuse for that? Homelessness, hunger, clean water… it’s not the location it’s the people.
Because Americans have poured billions of dollars of aide for over 30 years. Lost troops too. It’s been an endless cycle of misery since. We have our own problems here. Yes, it’s good to help. Somalia needs to help themselves. Stop fighting each other already!!!
Cleanliness and grooming, together with clean water and recovering meals, helps restore human dignity. Next, a place to stay and something to do, like helping with the planning and recovery of an area. Aid agencies/NGOs ought to include barbers and hairdresser with their outings.
Why don't aid outlets and NGO's, offer a kind of personal hygiene, self-cleaning of itself contraption, for both body and clothes, that uses non-poluting disinfectant with body and mouth wash. Wasted liquids recyclable. A kinda concept similar to 'car-washing', but for humans?!
Since when does Americans ever genuinely cared about the downtrodden&impoverished fellow humans on this planet we share? Last POTUS refer to them as “s**tholes” countries..current one seems more interested in playing geopolitics while high inflation/high USD wreck havoc elsewhere
Most people here have never even heard of Somalia.
Talvez a questao da devastaçao social e ambiental da Somália nao interessar aos norte-americanos seja..além da questao racial..😒a economica também..porque o USA nao é conhecido por sua afetividade política ou social com nenhum outro país..😒
Somalia, Yemen and Afghanistan are the true textbook definition of hell on earth. A people that choose to be slaves to violent medieval foreign religions that are not compatible with the true culture and spirituality of the people. Self inflicted religious madness!!
Because there's 54 countries in Africa and 195 countries in the world and the US should probably fix its own numerous crisis first?
Thank to wildwest
B/c we have crushing inflation here and need to worry about our own sh*t. Also, most of the foreign relations community has a hardon for Ukraine right now, so….
So when you click the link where the information for ‘worst drought in history’ came from, what they mean is worst drought recorded in 70 years 🙄. So what caused the drought before that? Climate change? Get real, this climate propaganda is nauseating
gatesfoundation FondationBotnar UN
syramadad Somalians have noticed.
Menos armas,misil,drones y más ayudas económicas para Somalia
Why is it not reported in Japan?
💀A victim in China is warning others: You may be the next victim.💀 There are some updates in my space, Thank your!
While everyone in your white country is taking about Ukraine 😣😣😣😣
Because Ukraine and Depp/Heard and Meghan/Harry and whatever Demi is identifying as now and China Bad and Kardashian Replies To Kanye and Pete and Ray J. That's a smidgen of WHY
Nice job time & efelsenthal for continuing to perpetuate white supremacist mentality via it's use of select photos for it's stories regarding peoples of melanin/color.
Do something about it then
That's the media's fault, not ours.
Here is why thats a big sad problem..
we are busy defending Zelenskyy, maybe?
Perhaps a loss of privacy & a paywall. Back in the days when u could spare a dime, it was more difficult to track yr readers unless u subscribed.
DylanRainesCO With int'l support, these low budget, high impact, community driven climate action & poverty eradication initiatives would not only help mitigate the impact of the current crisis, but also help prevent its future reoccurrence US_AU USAIDAfrica amassk
Oh my GOD…..These poor People need HELP!!!!
Not our problem! Maybe you should stop asking us for help in EVERYTHING?! There are other powers that should be helping them, like BRITAIN AND ITALY!
Because all eyes and $ on Z
I don't know if you have noticed TIME, but Americans are struggling to put food on their own plate thanks to the economic and agricultural system your class forced upon us. Maybe we 'aren't paying attention' because we are already nose deep in our own shit.
Last Time America intervened in Somalia it worked out so well....
might have something to do with emptying the treasury for Ukraine?
according to CNN 70% of $1.4 billion was raised by the USA.
Remember what happened the last time we tried to help in Somalia?
To read this article:
Why must America or the west help. 🤔 africa supports Russia
Ula not helping?
It’s difficult to keep tabs on all the terrible that’s going on in the world.
I remember watching news about famine and war in Somalia as a child… so for my entire lifetime these people have suffered! Why is this still happening?
The world is oblivious of the pains in Africa and the rest of less privilaged nations. All Somalia needed was just a trickle of the inflow to Ukraine to survive. The UN and AU are to blame for their negligence.
