somalia is suffering a climate crisis they did not create.ast four years they did not have a drought like this and there were four consecutive rainy seasons that failed. chance happen once every 10 years. now they are happening every year because of climate change. so i think it's fair to say that somalia is bearing the brunt of the climate change. whoever is financing or trying to mitigate the climate crisis or providing funds, i think they will have to focus on somalia. back to your question about needs. people need access to aid and they need to be safe. they need to be able to go to safe places or access to relief from their villages. that is what they need the most. >> we talking about the need to rethink the way local communities in the horn of africa should live? because were talking about prolonged cycles of drought, climate change, etc. >> somalia has consistently faced droughts and flooding and a river dried out four times in two years. low rainfall. it won't go away soon. we should focus first on institution building because the re

it's been a prolonged drought in somalia. some of its regions haven't seen rain into years desperate for food, water, and grazing for their cattle. thousands of people are fleeing their homes, walking long distances under the sporting sun. mohammed i my dear year and his family left their coastal city. the 60 year old says he had to walk more than a 1000 kilometers to get to this desolate camp, hoping to get food and shelter. a little by the national half a dozen hunter was. if you walked some distance out of here, you will see lots of bonds, but lots of animal bonds piled up on the top of each other. from all the corners, the sight of these ones will shock you together to look not only here but toward the region. somalia is one of the poorest countries in the world battered by decades of violence, war and political instability. this drought could be its worst yet. the un thies, the crisis, could be similar to the 2011 famine, which killed more than a quarter of a 1000000 people. half of them children thousands have died so f

is a livelihood and well-being of people in somalia? is a perfect storm. people in somalia?? is a perfect storm. as andrew's _ people in somalia? is a perfect storm. as andrew's report - people in somalia? is a perfect storm. as andrew's report said families are facing notjust an absolutely critical nutrition crisis but a devastating drought, the worst in a0 years that has hit most of the country. and over a million people now have been forced to flee and families have nothing, parents struggle to put food on the table for their children. and then you have an unrelenting violence that creates an eternal sense of people not knowing where to turn, not knowing where to go. i have been in some of these nutrition centres and what strikes you is the silence. you expect to go in and hear babies cry and have stuff going on but the children are so weak that they cannot summon the strength to cry out in pain and so, you know, we do what we can to reach children and families across the country that clearly what needs to be done is that we need more support a more humanitarian funding o

across somalia a million people are making these journeys.d crops, and a rural way of life that a changing climate will no longer tolerate. fatima walked for a fortnight to get here. she carried her three—year—old for days but the child died of hunger on the journey. "we had to leave her by the roadside," she says. "we had no strength to bury her. "we could hear the hyenas closing in." officially, no famine has been declared yet in somalia but today, right now, 300,000 people are living in famine conditions with another 2 million on the brink of famine. so it's hard to imagine a situation more desperate, more urgent, more compelling. there is help arriving here in baidoa and plans for much more, but it is too slow. the things we do now we needed to do three months ago. so, in reality we are behind. i think something catastrophic will happen in somalia. you mean a famine spreading? afamine spreading. but drought is not the only challenge. somalia is at war, a long fight against a formidable islamist insurgency. there is fighting going on today

so for example, the war in ukraine is having a mass effect effect in somalia. but just this week, the cabinet ministers of ukraine have allocated approximately $12000000.00 to provide humanitarian, a t, t o. p, and somalia, which suffer from view shortage. this is coming through odessa. well, how long should wait until the an 8 tonight is the question. that is the question. every step called every leader. imputed dos, who are attending the own gullies? yeah, those are the questions that we should be asking and demanding answers, immediate answers and answers that have concrete action. so as i said, we did ask this question, does anyone ga, you're at the u. n. g o r r u, as in those questions in our people responding. so if i don't pick up where esther left off and also maybe the video, i think it's easier to justify the problem that has some ideas crisis right now to security, etc, etc. i think there's a failure in terms of the 8th system in the infrastructure that is in somalia. we are missing the point. i mean, obviously right now we're about saving lives and

there's this mistrust around what's happening in somalia. and maybe in the horn across the region in terms of sort of the. ringback issues in why things keep on being the way they are. i think there's a lot of talk down systems that are, that have been in place in somalia, in the submissions and the programming that happened or not necessarily bottom up community lead community owns local government and regional governments support it. i work at the pilot and it's really difficult to negotiate with partners and funders to actually support the systems that are needed to address these long term issues. i, i do believe that you cannot you can't and you can't talk about solutions without actually building systems are government systems. so mine is government systems over time have eroded and now we are in the back. you know, we're back in trying to build those systems. but yet continuously you see, ah, ah, non governmental entities delivering basic services in the majority of the resources are going towards that. so long term solutions. not only

somalia is a fragile state. preoccupied right now with the fight in the center of the country. there is a lot of concern that it is not yet focusing enough attention on getting aid into the hard to get areas through intermediaries, smaller organizations that can work discreetly in al -shabad-controlled areas. people are awaiting the official declaration of famine. that tends to come too late. half of all of those who died in the 2011 somi famine died before the declaration was made. >> let's talk about the government response. to some, it may seem that the somali government is raising awareness, advocating for aid, but how capable has it been in its response within its own country? >> this is a new government. it took over a few months ago after a fairly turbulent period, but somalia has managed reasonably stable transfers of power. there is a sense that somalia is getting on the right track politically after years of being funded by the international community. it is still very much dependent on outside forces
