1.General
Inspiteofdecisionstakeninternationally thefood,situationin
Somaliahascontinuedtodeteriorate badlyinrecentweeks.Forthis •
reasontheGovernmentofSomaliahasreneweditsappealtothe
CommunityforfoodaidandtheCommissionconsidersthattheCommunity
shouldmeetthisrequestimmediately .
Granted,somedecisionshavealreadybeentakenbytheCommunity
1regardingfoodaid.Theyinclude:
Thetransfertoemergencyaidof7000metrictonsofaidinthe
formofcerealsincludedinthe1972/73programme,
Theallocationof500metrictonsofbutteroiland400metrictons

Theairfreightof72metrictonsofskimmedmilkpowderand34
'metrictonsofbutteroil.
However,thesedecisionsweretakenonthebasisofinformation submitted
atthebeginningofNovemberbytheSomaliGovernment andtheappropriate
international agencies,whichgavethenumberofpeoplerequiringfoodaid
as50000.Thebasisforthisestimatewastheexpectationthatthe
Decemberharvestwouldnotfalltoofarbelowtheaverageandthefact
tha.thundredsofthousandsofnomadshadbeenencouragedbytheSomali
authoritiestogotoEthiopiawheretherehadbeenrain.
ItisevidentfromthelatestreportssentbytheGovernmentofSomalia,
theDeputyControlleroftheEDF,theUNDROandtheInternational Committee
oftheRedCrossthatthesituationhasdeteriorated rapidly.This
deterioration hasbeencausedinparticularbytheverysmallcereal

tons,thenormalfigure)andbythegradualreturnofthenomadsfrom
Ethiopiawheretherainwasnotsoplentifulasforecast.Forthisreason

2.Breakdown ofrecmirements
(a.)Cereal requirements
According toinformation forwarded bythePAO itseems that 125000metric
tons will heneeded inthefirst eight months of1975 »ofwhich 10000metric
tons will hecovered bylocal December production .15000metric tons will be
1purchased and 53500metric tons will besupplied asfood aid •Afurther
46500metric tons must therefore befound .
(b)Milk products requirements
They have been assessed asfollows bytheSomali Government :
-6000metric tonsofbutteroil ^.Tomeetthese requirements 2000metric
tons arebeing imported andtheGovernment hopes toobtain afurther
3000metric tons .TheEEC isbeing requested toconsider whether itcould
supply theremaining 1000metric tons .
-9600metric tonsofskimmed milkpowder ^.TheGovernment hopes toreceive
approximately 3000metric tons from donors other than theEECwhich leaves
approximately 6600metric tons that theEEC isbeing requested tosupply .
(c)Theassessments setoutabove give thenetrequirements ofcereals and
milk products asthey canbecalculated atthepresent time but itistobe
feared that they will have tobereviewed atregular intervals totake account
ofchanges inthebasic factors ,such asthe aidactually supplied byother
donors ,thenumber ofpersons tobefed ,thepossible extension beyond August
oftheperiod during which relief will be -required ,the shipping anddistribution
facilities actually available etc .

2Inthe estimation oftheSomali Government thefigure should be52000metric
tons .
^Toassess thesignificance ofthese figures itshould benoted thatthese
quantities would enable 1000000people tobefedfor eight months allowing
them adaily ration of25gofbutteroil and40gofskimmed milk powder .
