(ERGO) – Calls recorded on Radio Ergo’s independent toll-free feedback platform this week (2-8 March 2022) follow the trend from recent previous weeks with the impact of the drought intensifying, according to listeners across the country. Somaliland regions and Galmudug stand out in terms of the highest number of calls. Middle Shabelle and Gedo regions in the south were also prominent. A critical lack of water was commonly described, with people saying they and their livestock are in dire circumstances. Communities displaced from their home areas appealed for help. Livestock herders asked for treatment and vaccinations for their animals. Calls about COVID19 were slightly up with questions about the disease and the vaccine.
