The same day Haiyan typhoon hit Philippines torrential rains, high wind speeds and flooding hit southeast Somalia. It has created a state of emergency, with 50,000 people affected, over 300 persons declared dead, hundreds more missing and unaccounted for, countless livestock lost and entire villages swept out. Many people are also cut off after landslides destroyed roads to main cities, electric and telephones are cut off too.  Eyl, Bandarbayla and Dangoroyo districts are the most affected. According to UNOCHA and local authorities water, shelter, food and NFIs are urgently needed while rehabilitation and restocking is the medium and long term needs.

Since the media coverage is currently focussing on Philippines and a lot of aid agencies are consequently focussing their campaigns in that country, Somalia and disasters of the cyclone storm have been neglected. African Development Trust (ADT) is focusing its relief efforts on Somalia, which is totally neglected by the international media. We are working with Tadamun Social Society, a partner on the ground to meet the urgent humanitarian needs of survivors. 

The full impact of the storm is still becoming clear. But we must act now. ADT has responded to almost every major disaster in Africa in the last 10 years, including the famine in the Horn of Africa, drought in Serra Leone and others. We provide immediate, lifesaving assistance and help communities recover for the long term.

Our goals are to help people return to their homes, get businesses running again and children back to school as quickly as possible. Your support now will help these most vulnerable families survive and begin rebuilding in the wake of this disaster.

Thank you for your compassion.
