(ERGO) – Most calls to Radio Ergo’s feedback platform this week (15-21 September 2022) raised concerns over persisting drought and water scarcity, with displaced communities expressing their desperation. Escalating food prices remained a major concern. Many callers appealed for help from aid agencies and government. A comparatively large number of calls this week came from remote parts of Sool region, as well as Sanag and Togdher. Several in the north spoke of wild animals attacking them and invading their water sources. Elsewhere there were many calls from central regions, with others from southern regions (although the latter are usually fewer to this platform). Some callers in Galmudug and Hiran noted the additional stress caused by conflict. One quarter of the callers this week were female, which is a higher proportion that usual.
