Sagal <\/strong>is 40 years old and a mother of two children. She is now eight months pregnant and she is very worried about the fate of her family. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Severe drought, constant water shortages and rising grain prices caused by the conflict in Ukraine are forcing thousands of Somaliland families to flee their homes and head to refugee camps.<\/p>\n

In Somaliland,<\/strong> one of the most vulnerable areas in the world, food and fuel prices have quadrupled.<\/strong> In addition, communities <\/strong>here are already experiencing one of the worst droughts to date. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Many mothers find themselves in extreme difficulty, due to the scarcity of food and water to give to their children.<\/p>\n

“Our life before was good. I had 100 head of cattle from which I drew milk to feed the children or sell it to buy other food products. We had a prosperous life. Now all our livestock is dead. I have two babies to take care of and I am now eight months pregnant. I wonder when we will stop suffering”<\/p>\n

\"Sagal_Story_750\"<\/p>\n

Due to the severe famine, Sagal and many other mothers were forced to leave their communities and migrate to the Giro-Sumo refugee camp<\/strong>. There is greater access to water here, but the lack of food and medical care <\/strong>is putting the lives of many mothers and their children at risk.<\/p>\n

We at ActionAid are providing help and support to families in refugee camps, guaranteeing them continuous economic assistance.<\/p>\n
