Riverine areas along the Juba likely to remain in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) through March

Key Messages

  • With only some, very limited income from labor, areas along the Juba River from Buaale in Middle Juba to Jamame District in Lower Juba will remain in Crisis (IPC Phase3) through March 2015. River flooding in October and flash floods in November destroyed planted crops and infrastructure. They have also reduced labor demand.

  • Outside of riverine areas in the Jubas, most areas remain Stressed (IPC Phase 2) and are likely to remain so through March. Agropastoral areas in Hiraan and Gedo will likely have below-average Deyr production in January/February, though to the situation in Hiraan is still likely to improve from Crisis (IPC Phase 3) to Stressed (IPC Phase 2) after the harvest.
