Extreme Water shortage in parts of Galgudud region

Pastoralist families and their livestock in Shimbiralle village of Galgaduud region are facing an extreme water shortage as the water pans, boreholes and other sources of water have dried up.

Mohmmad Xirsi a local resident who spoke to Goobjoog News this morning complained that the village does not have single water well and residents used to reply on dams and pans that are now dry.

“They currently have to rely on water brought from faraway places” he said.

He called upon international aid agencies and the Federal government to immediately initiate emergency relief measures to rescue the affected residents as soon as possible.

Central regions of Somalia have low annual precipitation and face frequent droughts and water shortage throughout the years.
