Table 29: Northeast Region, Estimated Rural and Urban Population by Livelihood Zone in Emergency and
Crisis, Aug-Dec 2012
Livelihood Zone
Estimated Population
by Livelihood Zones
The Post Gu 2012 nutrition situation depicts a mixed
picture across the livelihood zones compared to the Deyr
2011/12 season. The nutrition situation has improved in the
populations of East Golis and Hawd livelihoods, from Critical
in Deyr 2011/12 to Serious. The nutrition situation in Sool,
Addun and Coastal Deeh remains Serious. The nutrition
situation deteriorated among the populations of Nugal Valley
to Very Critical from the Critical phase in Deyr 2011/12. The
situation in the Nugal valley follows a seasonal pattern having
improved to Critical in Deyr 2011/12 but then deteriorating to
Very Critical, during the same phase in Gu 2011. A measles
outbreak reported in parts of the western districts of Nugal
Valley largely contributed to the worsened situation, despite
the positive food security indicators. The improvements in
East Golis and Hawd are linked to improved milk access,
dietary diversity and humanitarian intervention. The WHO/
MoH had reported AWD and cholera outbreaks in the Hawd
areas of Galkayo and Adaado districts that aggravated the
situation in Deyr 2011/12, however, this was controlled and
there was no disease outbreak reported in the livelihood zone
this season. Among the IDPs, the nutrition situation improved
in Bossaso and Galkayo from Very Critical to Critical levels,
and sustained Critical and Very Critical levels in Garowe
and Qardho respectively. The results are consistent with
historical data on nutrition surveys conducted among the
IDPs in the northeast region, which highlights the chronic
nutritional vulnerabilities

EFFECTS ON LIVELIHOOD ASSETS
Natural Capital: This season, the Northeast regions received
a second season of near normal rains, with the exception of
some pockets, after a long period of four consecutive below
normal rainfall in the previous seasons. Pasture conditions
are generally good in most of the livelihood zones due to
average rains received in April and May 2012. The natural
water streams and berkads were also replenished except
for the Coastal Deeh of Alluula and Iskushuban. The above
normal rains in the western part of Hawd and on the other
side of the Ethiopian border abnormally recharged the main
streams and also resulted into flash floods, which left a path
of destruction in its trail. This especially affected tarmac
roads, bridges and certain villages such as Gosol.
