Between January and June 2018, the humanitarian situation in Somalia remained grave due to residual impacts of drought, ongoing displacement, conflict and seasonal floods. Heavy rainfall in April and May resulted in severe flooding in central and southern regions affecting over 830,000 people, and displacing 290,000 of them, and impacted crops, shelter and infrastructure Disease outbreaks such as AWD/cholera and measles continue to represent a major threat to children. Overall, more than 2.6 million people have been displaced, including over 1 million in the last year alone and displacement is continuing at critical levels. Gender-based violence continues to be of major concern. UNFPA is actively participating in the sexual and reproductive health / Minimum Initial Service Package working group.
Results data are reported and updated as they become available.

L1: Humanitarian crises in which the national and international resources available in the affected country are sufficient for the required response.
L2: Humanitarian crises requiring significant support from neighbouring countries, regional organizations and possibly humanitarian agency headquarters.
L3: Major, sudden-onset humanitarian crises requiring mobilization across the humanitarian system.
Crisis levels are determined by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, a forum of UN and non-UN humanitarian partners.
