DOCUMENT: HUMANITARIAN ASSESSMENT REPORT
CRISIS: Urgent Shelter Crisis: Campasa Refugee Camps
ORGANIZATION: Siado Organization (Mogadishu / Dolow, Somalia)
REPORTED BY / DATE: Abdall Ashraf | May 15, 2026
1. Overview of the Crisis
This comprehensive field report focuses on the escalating shelter and survival needs of the
Internally Displaced People (IDPs) currently residing in the Campasa Refugee camps. During
the visit, it was observed that hundreds of families lack adequate protection from the
environment.

2. Shelter and Living Conditions
The majority of Internally Displaced People are living in traditional "buuls" or makeshift
structures that are structurally unsound. These houses offer no security during rain or extreme
heat, creating a precarious living situation for children and the elderly.

3. Resource Access and Documentation
Beyond shelter, access to essential resources remains critical. Site assessments included
monitoring resource distribution points where local residents queue for water and basic
necessities.

4. Field Team Assessment
Our dedicated field team, including the female assessment officers, visited the site to verify
reports and speak directly with the affected Internally Displaced People. The team highlighted
that the lack of shelter is directly contributing to health and safety concerns.

humanitarian priority for the Siado Organization.
