Hope After the Deluge: How Luuq is Rebuilding After Somalia’s 2023 Worst Flooding in a Century

Nearly two years on, the impact of the 2023 floods still lingers. In Luuq’s largest displacement site, Jazira, over 900 households continue to seek shelter, many displaced multiple times by both climate shocks and conflict. Even after the floodwaters receded, recovery proved painfully slow. With fuel drums costing up to US$200, many farmers couldn’t afford to restart irrigation systems, risking entire planting seasons. World Vision stepped in with emergency fuel support, helping communities resume irrigation and protect their crops.
