FOOD SECURITY ASSESSMENT UNIT SOMALIA
JUNE 2003 NUTRITION UPDATE This issue highlights the plight of communities affected by continued insecurity in Lower Jubba where access for humanitarian organisations continues to be a major constraint in the delivery of appropriate assistance. In the Sool Plateau, the nutrition survey results confirm the precarious and highly vulnerable situation faced by the population which continues to face enormous constraints in sustaining both livelihoods and basic nutritional needs. Here, the governing authorities and humanitarian organisations face the challenge of supporting communities with interventions that can prevent further deterioration of an already fragile environment in an area which also presents issues of inadequate access due to insecurity. Inadequate access for humanitarian organisations to communities in Gedo continues to hamper efforts to support recovery from years of drought. FSAU NUTRITION UPDATE ARCHIVE
