Description

Mother-of-four Nuura Omar arrived in the Ali Hussein camp on the edge of Burao six weeks ago, after the drought left the family virtually destitute.

“We came here by truck from Ceeldheere village, which is about 40kms away. We came because of the drought, after nearly all our animals died. All I have left is three goats.

“I came with my husband, my two youngest children and the goats. There was nothing left for them to eat or drink. My two eldest children (aged 7 and 8) stayed there with my grandmother – she runs a small tea shop so at least she has some income, and she needs some help in the shop.

“We came here to try and find water and food. I have some relatives here, and other people have also welcomed us and shared some of their food. They also gave us some sticks and old cloth so that my husband and I could make this shelter. There is also more support from the government here than in the villages.

“My husband is a strong man, so he is looking for construction or labouring work in the town. But he has not found any yet.

“We are not thinking of going back – what for? Our livestock are gone – what would we do there?”
