Provision of integrated life-saving WASH services to Flood-affected populations in Baidoa district of Bay region ltpgtThe humanitarian needs in Somalia continue to grow following substantial rainfall over the last one month triggering devastating floods, causing deaths and displacement, swamping farmlands, and damaging roads, bridges, and airstrips, thereby restricting access to towns and settlements for displaced people.
