Type: Other Appeal Source: SSPDO (refer to submitted Alert Note) Date: 07. May 2018 floods. Crisis Start est. 22 April 2018 19 May 2018 Cyclone Supplemented with data and analysis from: UNOCHA Somalia Flash Update # 3 and # 4 dated 3/5 and 8/5; Ethiopia Floods Flash update # 2 dated 10/5; & Kenya Flash update #4 and #5 ACAPS Briefing Notes on Somalia Floods 3/5 and 9/5, and on Cyclone Sagar 22/5 World Vision Flash Alert Floods in East Africa 11/5 | Rapid onset | The submitted Alert Note focus on the humanitarian crisis impact experienced in Hirshabelle State as a result of the flooding, but does mention that four additional States in Somalia are affected. Crisis data, updates and analysis from UN OCHA, ACAPS and World Vision confirm that in Somalia all five States (Banadir, Hirshabelle, South West States, Galmuduug, and Jubaland) are effected, and, that so is specific regions of Ethiopia and Kenya. These are therefore included in this DERF Call for proposals. Additional alert mails related to Cyclone Sagar received from 3 Danish organisations during 21-14 May, have resulted in the update of the current Call for proposals to include the humanitarian impact in Somaliland of Tropical Cyclone Sagar. On 03 May 2017, the DERF was activated to provide humanitarian financing for response to a slow onset food security crisis experienced in Somalia, and on 28 July 2017 DERF was likewise activated to respond to drought induced humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia in the same regions as currently affected by floods. The current unfolding humanitarian crisis therefore further increases life-saving needs of already vulnerable communities. Increased rainfall since early April resulted in a sharp increase in the water levels in Shabelle and Juba basins in Somalia and neighboring Ethiopia reaching high flood risk/full bank levels and overflowing by the first week of May. According to ACAPS 9/5 Briefing Note this has led to to severe flooding in southern and central Somalia. As per UN OCHA 8/5 Somalia update river flooding has affected an estimated 718,000 people, displacing 220,000 of these. According to the Flash Alert from World Vision 11/5 building on UNOCHA data, flooding in the Somali region of Ethiopia has affected 165,000 persons of which 98,000 have been displaced. In the affected areas in Kenya, 311,100 persons have been displaced by heavy rains and flooding. According to ACAPS 22/5, on 19 May, Tropical Cyclone Sagar made landfall in North-western Somaliland bearing winds in excess of 120 km/h and an entire year’s worth of rain (200-300mm) affecting approximately 700,000 people and widespread destruction of property, infrastructure and the loss of livestock. Particular Vulnerable Groups: The locations mostly affected by the heavy rains and floods were in the case of Somalia and Ethiopia still struggling to respond to humanitarian impact of severe drought - and the same is the case with the cyclone affected populations in Somaliland. Amongst the affected communities, internal displaced persons have been particularly vulnerable and this is expected to have deepened. It will be important that any DERF funded response ensures that it targets the needs of the most vulnerable, hard-to reach and affected persons amongst the affected communities. Funding Situation: The existing national humanitarian response plans for Somalia and Ethiopia are currently funded with 24% of the required 2018 funding for Somalia and 11% in the case of Ethiopia. Kenya has no specific humanitarian response plan, but has in 2018 received humanitarian funding of 44.4m USD from donors including Denmark. Source: UN OCHA Financial Tracking Services. Prioritized Emergency Actions: Life-saving emergency relief and stabilizing actions with priority sectors: Shelter; Food; non-food items; water, sanitation and hygiene; and health. Humanitarian Access: Access to specific target groups and locations could be constrained particularly in Somalia by non-state actors | In Somalia & Somaliland: 11 organisations 4 of the above have experience implementing DERF grants, and are prequalified to apply for DERF funding. 1 of the above is currently implementing a Civil Society Fund (CSF) grant Ethiopia: 19 orgs. Of these 4 have experience implementing DERF grants, and are prequalified for DERF funding Kenya: approximately 50 orgs have experience from CSF projects. Intentions to apply DERF: The alerting organisation intends to apply. The rest are unknown (and have not been approached). |
