Press Release: Tsunami compounds an already serious humanitarian situation in Somalia, says UN

- Wednesday, December 29, 2004 at 11:58

 

Nairobi (29 December 2004) – On 26 December 2004, the tsunami that hit many parts of Southeast Asia also struck Puntland in the Horn of Africa. Coastal communities between the island of Hafun in the Bari region and the village of Garacad in Mudug, a 650-kilometre stretch of coastline, were particularly affected (see attached map)

 

Areas impacted – Map

 

Latest figures report that at least 114 people have died, over 100 fishing boats are missing and many more people remain unaccounted for. Villages in the area have been either fully or partially submerged and livestock and livelihoods lost in an area predominantly reliant on fishing and pastoralism.

 

As interagency assessment missions carry on in the areas, WFP have relocated staff from Bossaso to Hafun and are preparing to distribute 31MT of food to assist at least 2,000 people, while UNICEF has mobilised emergency relief supplies from Bossaso. WHO is transferring 3 emergency kits to the area – each can cater to a population of 10,000 people for three months. An interagency aerial assessment of the affected coastline will take place tomorrow (Thursday 30 December 2004). The UN will make an appeal for assistance depending on the outcome of the assessments.

 

“Our efforts to even gauge the full extent of the damage are being hampered by the poor transport and communication networks, which also affect the delivery of emergency relief as we piece together a complete picture of the situation, “ says acting Humanitarian Coordinator Elballa Hagona. “What is clear is that the tsunami is a further assault on communities that have already been rendered vulnerable and destitute by the severe drought and subsequent floods that occurred during this year.â€

 

The four-year drought was declared an emergency in August 2004 and has affected more than 600,000 people, decimated herds of livestock and led to loss of livelihood assets. More recently, flash floods and extreme weather conditions further compounded an already serious humanitarian situation.

 

The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is leading the interagency task force responding to the tsunami that includes UN agencies, donors and international NGOs.

Tsunami claimed 132 in Somalia

30/12/2004 14:34 - (SA)

 

Nairobi - The toll of people killed in Somalia when a deadly tsunami wave struck the country's Indian Ocean coast at the weekend has climbed to 132, Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi said on Thursday in Nairobi.

 

Gedi said: "Some 132 people were killed and about 150 others injured,"

 

Gedi said: "There are also more than 50 000 people displaced by the killer wave (and) the most affected region is in the regional administration of Puntland, but the damage was felt all along southern part of Somalia."

 

Puntland lies in the northeastern part of Somalia, a nation of 10 million people.

 

On Wednesday, the United Nations said at least 114 people had died and up to 50 000 people were in urgent need of relief assistance in the Horn of Africa nation, whose coastline was battered by walls of water on Sunday.

 

Inter-agency aerial assessment

 

"Food, medicine, water and shelter are urgently needed for the displaced people," added Gedi in an interview, adding that urgent aid was needed in Barri, Mudug, Lower Shabelle, Middle Shabelle and Mogadishu regions, all lying along the country's coastline.

 

The quake-powered waves its epicentre was off the Indonesian island of Sumatra have killed more than 81 000 people across the Indian Ocean since Sunday, spreading carnage across the shorelines of several Asian nations where diseases threaten to wipe out weakened survivors.

 

According to the Office of the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, a UN appeal will be made for Somalia after an inter-agency aerial assessment over the affected regions takes place on Thursday.

 

In the northeastern Hafun Island, the threat of diseases has started to hit weakened survivors, whose possessions were ruined by the killer waves.

 

Disaster-response mechanism

 

World Food Programme spokesperson said "They are now without shelter, water, food and medicine. Cases of diarrhoea and other diseases are already being reported."

 

She said: "Most of the houses in the town have been destroyed. Personal possessions lay scattered around the town.

 

"Boats are beached in the middle of the town. Even money is strewn on the ground."

 

The Horn of Africa nation lacks an affective disaster-response mechanism, having been ravaged by anarchy since 1991 when dictator Mohammed Siad Barre was toppled, plunging the whole nation into lawlessness.

Tsunami devastates Somali island

 

 

 

Most buildings on the Somali island of Hafun were swept away by the deadly Indian Ocean tsunami, an emergency aid relief team has revealed.

 

Roads washed away by the sea are hampering the delivery of food aid to some 4,500 islanders affected.

 

Waves which swept 7,000km (4,000 miles) from the epicentre left a trail of smashed buildings and boats along the East African coast.

 

More than 130 people in East Africa are known to have died in the floods.

 

Cholera fear

 

"Almost 95% of Hafun's buildings have been destroyed," the UN World Food Programme's Ali Issay - part of the first relief team to reach victims of the tsunami - told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.
