Somalia hosts some 3.1 million persons of concern to UNHCR, including over 33,000 refugees and asylum-seekers, mainly from Ethiopia and Yemen. Some 93,000 refugees have voluntarily returned to Somalia with UNHCR assistance, the majority coming back from Kenya, Yemen, Djibouti, Libya, Sudan and Eritrea. In addition, nearly 3 million people are also internally displaced in the country due to conflict, insecurity and the effects of climate change such as cyclical droughts and floods. Somalia continues to face multiple challenges, including political insecurity, conflict, natural disasters such as drought, flooding, and cyclones. UNHCR’s operational footprint in Somalia dates back thirty years. Today, UNHCR is present in ten countrywide locations. UNHCR provides protection, emergency assistance as well as durable solutions for refugees and asylum-seekers, internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugee returnees, and vulnerable hosting communities. UNHCR is working to ensure that the voluntary repatriation of Somali refugees is sustainable and that returnees are effectively integrated into their communities. UNHCR will continue to support the Government of Somalia in providing humanitarian assistance as well as development and peace investments in priority areas of return and reintegration. UNHCR is an active member of the Humanitarian Country Team and continues to (co)-lead the Protection, Shelter and CCCM Clusters in Somalia.
