Women I have spoken to, told me that "we are used to droughts, but this time we have had no rest". Somalia faced 3 severe droughts this decade, the frequency & severity are increasing, the numbers of people affected are staggering. Behind every number there is a human face...

We’re saddened by the loss of our staff member and a family relative of FAO staff during last week’s attack in Mogadishu.
National staff work at the frontlines & too often bear the brunt of such attacks on humanitarians.
We stand with our staff & all Somalis during this time.

This #internationalruralwomensday we celebrate the heroic Somali women fighting to keep their families alive.
>80% of the 1million drought displaced are women & children. More support is needed in rural areas to prevent displacement. For those on the move the risks are high.

Today, over one billion people live in overcrowded settlements with inadequate housing, and that number is rising every day.
I urge governments to invest more to make cities work for everyone, and close the gaps. We must leave no one behind.
