What it takes for one family to keep going when everything is running out, Hamida's Story
Hamida*, 29, is a mother of five children ranging from four months to seven years old. She is grateful to Allah that her entire family survived the relentless dry season in Ethiopia’s Somali region. However, they face a desperate struggle to survive after losing most of their livestock—their only source of income.With no options left, Hamida and her family fled their small village in the Somali region about six years ago escaping a drought that killed most of their livestock. After walking for more than five hours, they arrived at a makeshift camp for temporary settlers on the outskirts of a nearby rural town, far from their original home. They have lived there ever since.Following the failed rainy season known as Dayr, in October to December, most areas in the Somali region experienced severe drought, causing an acute shortage of water and pasture. This led to significant food insecurity among communities, forcing many families to leave their homes and travel to nearby small towns in hopes of receiving support from the government and humanitarian agencies.As part of its emergency humanitarian assistance through the internal Humanitarian Fund (HF), Save the Children is on the ground providing lifesaving assistance to families most impacted by the dry season through the distribution of food and non-food items. To date, the organization has reached over 1,200 households, approximately more than 7,200 individuals.
