BADHAN, Somalia, October 20, 2015 (Garowe Online)-Lack of pasture and severe water shortage have hit pastoral communities in northern Sanag region, Garowe Online reports.
Speaking with Puntland-based independent station, Radio Garowe, Sanag Governor Mohamud Ismael Iyon said, one-third of livestock in the region are reeling under the ravaging drought.
Iyon added that the situation is alarming, fearing that it could finally leave the people more destitute.
Sanag region didn’t receive erratic Gu’ rains abundantly as international agencies are warning of El Nino weather patterns.
The outcry coincides with Deyr season which has already watered some areas in Somalia’s northeastern state of Puntland.
