Our work in Somalia

In Somalia, the ICRC works with the Somali Red Crescent Society to help people adversely affected by decades of armed conflict and climatic shocks. We provide them with emergency assistance and increase their self-reliance. We also promote and monitor international humanitarian law, visit detainees and restore contact between family members separated by armed conflict. ]

We bring you the latest news about the situation in Somalia, together with updates about the country’s people and their stories.

Quote from our staff

The displacement has increased the needs that existed here (Xaaro village). That includes water, food and medicine. There are no hospitals, clinics or even pharmacies. Because of these gaps, the ICRC and the Somali Red Crescent have setup five mobile clinics in Somalia.
