Experts seek a way to get ahead of drought displacement in Somalia.
People displaced by the drought arrive at a camp in Southern Somaliland, where they are processed and provided with basic aid items. As the UNHCR’s Sarah Khan points out, this isn’t a long-term solution. Laura Hammond, an academic and expert on this region, explains that there is more to be done to prevent these displacements from happening in the first place.
