Somalia: Hundreds of thousands received vital food and medical assistance in 2015

ICRC continued to help the people of Somalia suffering from armed conflict and harsh climate shocks such as drought and floods.

In 2015, we provided aid in the form of health care, clean water, and economic support to those in need. Our teams also visited detainees to monitor their living conditions and treatment, as well as worked tirelessly to reconnect families separated during conflict.

	630,000 people benefitted from food and non-food emergency distribution.
	485,000 people received medical assistance.
	240,000 people received clean water and better sanitation.
