MOGADISHU —<\/strong> The United Nations and humanitarian partners on Wednesday unveiled the 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP), which aims to raise 1.42 billion U.S. dollars to help 4.6 million people in Somalia.<\/p>\n

George Conway, deputy special representative of the UN Secretary General, called on the international community “to support our efforts with urgent funding and resources, ensuring that no one is left behind in this ongoing crisis” in a statement issued in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.<\/p>\n

The 2025 HNRP advocates for scaled-up development and climate financing to address the structural drivers of needs, build resilience, and reduce the risk of future disasters.<\/p>\n

Conway said food insecurity and malnutrition remain widespread across Somalia as a result of recurrent shocks.<\/p>\n

“We are committed to providing lifesaving assistance to those most in need, particularly vulnerable groups such as women, children and the elderly,” Conway said.<\/p>\n

According to the UN, the humanitarian situation in Somalia saw slight improvements in 2024 as compared to previous years, which were marked by widespread conflict, devastating droughts and flooding.<\/p>\n

The UN said the improvements are linked to investments in early warning, preparedness and improved collaboration between the humanitarian community and the authorities, and increased response capacity of the government.<\/p>\n
