due to combination of rising food prices,
devalued Somali shilling, drought, delayed
and poor seasonal rains and increasing civil
insecurity. Number of people in need of
assistance increased by 40% since January

Violence in Mogadishu has resulted in

Humanitarian access is hindered by
checkpoints, roadblocks (over 300 in
South/Central in 2008), attacks on aid
convoys (OCHA).
