Particularly intense rains fell during the third week of October in southern Somalia's Middle Shabelle Region and Mogadishu, according to the USAID-funded Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET). Other southern regions-including Bakool, Banadir, Bay, Gedo, Lower Juba, and Lower Shabelle-have also received heavy rainfall. In addition, torrential rains fell in eastern Ethiopia and northern Kenya between October 11 and 17. FEWS NET expects the rains to support favorable agricultural conditions in cropping areas of Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya. However, the rains have also resulted in localized flash floods, which have displaced individuals in Ethiopia, as well as destroying temporary shelters and rendering some roads temporarily impassable in Somalia. In addition, the heavy rains may raise the risk of increased morbidity and mortality among already weakened drought-affected populations due to the potential spread of waterborne diseases.

On September 5, the Transitional National Council (TNC) and local water authorities confirmed that water was now reaching the capital from the Jebel Hassouna water well fields in southern Libya. Authorities expected tap water access to gradually return throughout Tripoli over the following days. Engineers reported no evidence of sabotage-related damage to the Jebel Hassouna well fields.

In response, a 21=person team from USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA), including 16 surge capacity consultants positioned throughout Haiti, worked in coordination with the GoH, the U.N. Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), and international humanitarian organizations in Haiti to monitor the approaching storm and assist with preparedness and response efforts. Hurricane Irene passed over the northern coast of Haiti on August 23, causing isolated flooding but no significant damage.

On August 29, the U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF) reported that conflict-related disruptions to the Great Man-Made River (GMMR)-the pipeline network that provides water to regions of Libya without local water sources-had caused the shortage. Some Tripoli residents are relying on other water sources, such as wells and bottled water provided by local manufacturers; however, the quality of water from wells remains unknown, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Frequent fuel and electricity shortages during the conflict have prevented water reservoir pumps and desalination plants from operating at full capacity, leading to water shortages, according to UNICEF.

To date, the February to May gu/genna and belg rains have produced below normal precipitation. Scarce rains compound the poor food security situation in southern and southeastern pastoral and agro-pastoral areas. The USAID-funded Famine Early Warning System Network (FEWS NET) expects the current food security situation to persist through June and deteriorate from July to September. On April 12, in response to the developing drought in the south and southeastern portions of the country, the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (GFDRE) issued a revised version of the February 2011 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD).
