Mogadishu(Mogadishu24)-Nearly 6 million people in Somalia will require humanitarian assistance in 2025, marking a 13% reduction compared to 2024, according to the latest Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) released by humanitarian partners.

The report highlights that 4.6 million people will be specifically targeted for aid, with a total financial requirement of US$1.42 billion needed to address critical needs across the country.

The humanitarian plan outlines key interventions aimed at providing food security, health services, clean water, education, and protection assistance to the most vulnerable, including displaced persons, women, and children affected by ongoing crises such as drought, conflict, and economic instability.

While the reduction in humanitarian needs reflects some progress, Somalia continues to face significant challenges, including climate shocks, fragile livelihoods, and insecurity. The report underscores the urgency of sustained donor funding and coordinated response efforts to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation.

The full report is available on ReliefWeb, providing a detailed overview of the needs and strategies for 2025.
