Map of Somalia |
Regional Team: EA
East Africa
Disaster Declared: 12/07/2001
Brief Description: Civil strife continued in Somalia
during 2002 for the eleventh consecutive year as a result
of continued inter-clan conflicts. In addition, three consecutive
years of below-normal rainfall have produced drought conditions
throughout most of the country, with the most significant
effects in the southern and northeastern areas. Although a
transitional national government began in September 2000,
instability and insecurity continue. More than 1.4 million
Somalis have been impacted by the drought and conflict. Since
1990, the USG has provided more than $476 million to Somalia
for humanitarian assistance activities.
