Hundreds of thousands of cattle have died, leaving families without income or food. More than 3.2 million people across Somaliland and Somalia need urgent food aid.
The drought has led to outbreaks of deadly diseases, such as cholera and Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD).
Hundreds of thousands of children are also suffering from malnutrition.
