(ERGO) – As drought continues across the country, the calls to Radio Ergo’s independent feedback platform this week (9-15 March 2022) were mostly related to the impact and suffering caused by prevailing conditions. In terms of numbers, there were more calls from northern regions with Togdher and Sanag being the highest. Puntland, Galmudug, and southern regions also produced significant numbers of calls. People generally spoke about the lack of water, thirst among families, inability to keep their livestock alive, the spread of disease among livestock, loss of livelihoods, and helplessness. Farmers in riverine areas said they had no water for their farms. Many callers were concerned by the rise in prices of fuel, water, and food. There was an increase in calls from people asking for advice and treatment for sick livestock.
