Muslim Charity has worked extensively in Somaliland over the last few years and many of the villages affected are well known to Muslim Charity aid workers on the ground. The team’s immediate assessment has revealed that just in and around Burao city itself over 1,500 households have been destroyed. Some of the villages in Burao which have been assessed are Diinddin (70 households affected), Kal-Barre (130 households affected), Beer (157 households affected) and the list goes on.
Muslim Charity’s Country Director of Somalia has urged that as an emergency response, food and clothing are urgently required by affectees especially as winter approaches. For the long term, livestock (goats and sheeps) should be provided to needy families whose livestock have perished as a result of the flooding.
Muslim Charity urges its donors to donate generously for those affected by the flooding so we can provide much needed aid and assistance.
