Subject Challenges facing Somalia's COVID-19 response. Significance Decades of civil war and weak governance mean Somalia is one of the least-prepared countries in the world to manage a serious health emergency. However, Somalia's COVID-19 case numbers are now rising far faster than most of its regional peers, amid strong indications that the situation is much worse than statistics suggest. Impacts Somalia also faces floods, a locust plague and a steep fall in remittances, all of which will damage the economy and livelihoods. Cases in Somalia could spill over into neighbouring countries already struggling to contain the virus. The virus may disproportionately impact over 2 million IDPs who live in close quarters and have little access to testing or healthcare.
