36,000 Displaced Persons Arrive at Somalia IDP Camps in One Week

United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) announced that 36,000 Somalis arrived at different camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) around the country in the last week.

UNICEF published this shocking report on Friday, July 8.

UNICEF officials have visited various IDP camps around the country over the last seven days and noticed a worrying trend.

The organization’s officials reported that the trend is because of the ongoing drought.

Consequently, UNICEF has issued an appeal to stakeholders to intervene with emergency humanitarian assistance.
