Hirshabelle president:
I have received $1,142,000 from Federal government of Somalia, [this writer: the outcry was not useless]
- $600k of this is from Djibouti, $500k is from FGS
- $42K is from National committee for floods

When 85% of Baladweyne was flooded in 2019, Le Republica reported that Somalia’s ministry of agriculture failed to request 6 Million Euro, donated by Italy

It seems Hirshabelle state and FOA have prepared the formal request, submitted to Fed ministry of agriculture to submit to Italy, which it failed to do, leading to failure to construct banks along Shabelle River, to curb the flooding: leading to 200k IDP. #Hirshabelle, #Somalia

Here is President if Hirshabelle confirming that he has received the money donated in late 2019 in May 10, this year, couple of days ago. $1.5 M donated by China is still missing.

Second flooding starts, striking folks as farce, since money allocated for the floods that displaced 270k six months ago have not been used. Scandal after scandal in the absence of accountability mechanism. IDPs displaced again: hunger and diseases.
