Highlights
The volatile situation in Yemen has led to a continued influx of people to Somalia. Support by UNICEF in June has so far included providing protection related information to new arrivals; identifying separated and unaccompanied children; psychosocial support; polio and measles vaccinations; distribution of WASH supplies; nutrition screening and referral of children with SAM; etc.
As UNICEF continues to closely monitor the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Yemen, UNICEF is bolstering its support to implementing partners in strategic areas to ensure adequate preparedness capacity to deal with a potential surge in numbers of refugees/returnees.
UNICEF appeals for US$ 111,705,413 to meet the humanitarian needs of women and children in Somalia in 2015. As at 31 July, UNICEF’s humanitarian appeal is 34 per cent funded.
