UPDATE ON ACHIEVEMENTS
Operational Context
PUNTLAND
The number of persons arriving from Yemen to Bossaso remains unpredictable despite the heavy fighting that has been affecting the strategic area of Taiz, which may yet result large displacement.
SOMALILAND
Since March 2015, 9,908 new arrivals (3,278 families) have been recorded in Somaliland, including 1,898 Yemenis, 7,863 Somalis, 114 Ethiopians and 22 people of other nationalities. Although the number of boats arriving from Yemen is steady, the total number of new arrivals remains relatively low.
