AMISOM HUMANITARIAN ASSESSMENT MISSION IN GARBAHARREY & BULO BURTE
TTS
AMISOM's Humanitarian Liaison Unit visited the towns of Garbaharrey and Bulo Burte on assessment mission. As the world prepares to mark the World Humanitarian Day on 19th August and with an increasingly worsening humanitarian situation in Somalia, officials led by senior Humanitarian Liaison Officer Abdul Diabagate met with elders, women, local administration and other stakeholders to understand the reality on the ground.
Garbaharrey and Bulo Burte are located in Sector 3 and 4 respectively and were liberated in the last AMISOM offensive. AMISOM and Somali National Army soldiers maintain the security of the towns despite attempts by Al Shabaab to blockade the roads leading into the towns thus worsening the food crisis.
The AMISOM team included Rasha Elamin Protection, Human Rights and Gender officer, Walter Lotze African Union Peace Support Operations Division, Dr.Moreira Komlan AMISOM Medical Planning officer and Andrew Alele AMISOM Civil Engineer.
As part of its mandate, AMISOM is tasked with providing safe corridors and a conducive environment for humanitarian efforts.
