Urgent Humanitarian Crisis Unfolds in Hiiraan as SoDMA and Hirshabelle Plan Joint Response

Mogadishu – July 12, 2025 – A critical humanitarian situation is rapidly developing in Somalia’s Hiiraan region, triggered by escalating conflict involving the Khawaarij group. In response, a high-level meeting was convened today in Mogadishu between the Somali Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA) and the Hirshabelle State administration to address the pressing needs of over 60,000 displaced individuals.

Mr. Mohamed Moalim Abdulle, Commissioner of the National Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA), hosted a pivotal discussion with the Vice President of Hirshabelle State, Mr. Yusuf Ahmed Hagar Dabageed, at the agency’s headquarters. The primary objective of the meeting was to strategize an immediate and coordinated humanitarian effort for those affected by the ongoing hostilities.

Vice President Dabageed provided a sobering account of the situation on the ground in Hiiraan. He highlighted that recent intense clashes have led to the displacement of more than 60,000 people, who are now enduring severe hardships. These challenges include:

  • Acute Shelter Deficiencies: A significant number of families are without adequate housing, exposed to the elements.
  • Widespread Food Insecurity: Access to sufficient food remains a major concern, with many facing hunger.
  • Critical Water Scarcity: Clean and safe drinking water is severely limited, posing serious health risks.

The vast majority of these internally displaced people have sought refuge in Beledweyne, the provincial capital, and its surrounding areas. They are in urgent need of assistance to survive the harsh conditions they currently face.

Commissioner Abdulle of SoDMA expressed profound concern regarding the dire circumstances. He made a firm commitment that the agency would respond swiftly and comprehensively to the escalating humanitarian requirements.

“We will dedicate considerable effort and time to ensure rapid aid reaches those in critical need,” Commissioner Abdulle stated, emphasizing the urgency and scope of SoDMA’s planned intervention.

Both officials jointly issued a compelling appeal to humanitarian organizations, as well as international and local donors, urging their active participation in the relief operations. They proposed the establishment of a unified collaborative framework to effectively address the vast needs of the conflict-affected population.

Furthermore, Commissioner Abdulle and Vice President Dabageed emphasized the crucial importance of strengthening communication and collaboration between government entities and aid organizations. This coordinated approach is essential to harmonize planning and operational activities for humanitarian assistance, ensuring resources are deployed efficiently and reach those who need them most. The unified call indicates a shared resolve to alleviate suffering and bring stability to the lives of the displaced in Hiiraan.
