    AIF'S ROBUST RESPONSE IN SOMALIA…

    In what has been labelled the worst drought in 60 years, the recent drought in the Horn of Africa has led to the emergence of a tragic humanitarian situation. The lack of rain in the region, 80 percent less than in normal situations, has led to the failure of existing agriculture which has thus resulted in severe food and water shortages.

    Due to the difficulty of the crisis not being centralised to one point, the Al Imdaad Foundation intends to respond to this disaster in the manner of a three pronged approach.

    Somali situation better: Al Imdaad Foundation

    Relief efforts by the Al Imdaad Foundation has brought extensive relief to the famine stricken in Somalia where conditions have significantly improved. According to AIF spokesperson, Qari Ziyaad Patel, these efforts have brought much ease to Somalis, many of whom are now internally displaced people, who have set up camp in and around Mogadishu.

    Two years of drought has left millions of people in Somalia starving; years of armed conflict and insecurity have had a similar impact on medical, educational and other social infrastructure in the country.

    Beaufort West- Water Crisis!

     
    The town of Beaufort-West in the Central Karoo, South Africa is currently experiencing severe water scarcity. Dam levels are at their lowest in living memory, and the main supply dam looks to be near bone-dry. The town is currently without any surface water sources as its supply dam is completely empty. It is at present, solely reliant on groundwater from boreholes, donations of water in tankers and bottles from individuals and organisations who heed the call to provide water. Every drop of water is seen as a blessing since the local Gamka Dam dried up two months ago. The ongoing drought in Beaufort West has forced municipal officials to enforce water shedding. The municipality has restricted its community to twelve (12) Kilolitres per household per month and completely cuts the water supply every thirty-six (36) hours. Tankers then supply the households with wash water and five (5) litres of drinking water per day. No vehicle washing, irrigation of gardens etc. is allowed.
