Tens of thousands of people are currently fleeing violence in Mogadishu adding to the up to 335,000 people already needing immediate lifesaving assistance in Mogadishu and the Shabelle regions. NGOs cannot respond effectively to the crisis because access and security are deteriorating dramatically at a time when needs are increasing.
