During the reporting period, 4,393 new displacements were recorded across 507 settlements in five districts, with drought accounting for nearly half of these movements. Additionally, 150 individuals, including Somali returnees, arrived in Somaliland and Puntland by sea. Eleven health centers are anticipated to close in October due to funding shortfalls.

The closure of health centers will exacerbate the humanitarian crisis, particularly for vulnerable populations like Aisha and her nine children who are already struggling with food and water scarcity. Funding for humanitarian operations remains significantly below requirements.

The country is experiencing new internal displacements, with drought being a primary driver. People are facing severe food and water shortages, and the impending closure of health facilities will further limit access to essential services for those in need.

The specific locations of the 11 health centers facing closure are not detailed, nor is the overall impact of these closures on regional health service coverage.
