Mogadishu, SONNA – In a recent visit to the SoDMA emergency center, the Somali Minister of Interior, Federal and Reconciliation, Ali Yusuf Ali Hoosh, was briefed on the nation’s flood conditions. The report, delivered by the Disaster Management Agency staff, highlighted the urgent need for public awareness regarding the imminent dangers posed by the floods.
Minister Hosh emphasized the critical importance of keeping the Somali populace, especially those residing near rivers and streams, well-informed about the flood situation. He noted that the lack of attention to warning messages and expert recommendations from SoDMA has made it challenging to mitigate the risks to life and property.
In conclusion, Minister Hoosh appealed to aid agencies to intensify their surveillance and readiness for the anticipated impact of the upcoming rains, which are expected to exacerbate the flood situation. He stressed the necessity for a collaborative effort to safeguard the affected communities and ensure a swift response to the developing crisis.
