Displacement in Somalia is accelerating as drought conditions intensify, with the United Nations reporting that around 62,000 people have been displaced since the start of the year across five regions.

Experts have warned that the number of people facing food insecurity could double to 6.5 million.

Data indicates that drought is the primary driver of displacement, amid deteriorating crops and livelihoods.

International organizations expect the number of displaced to rise to 300,000, highlighting a deepening humanitarian crisis.
