The AID team assessed the situation by visiting many hospitals in the capital, Mogadishu.

After six years, Somalia is once again in the grip of a new crisis caused by drought. In a country with a population of 12 million, 6 million people's lives are at risk due to a major crisis. Thousands of people had lost their lives following the deadly drought of 2011. Unfortunately, before the wounds of the 2011 crisis have fully healed, the country is once again on the brink of a new famine and water shortage disaster.

Field survey has begun.

The Alliance of International Doctors (AID) reached the region as a pioneer team and began conducting a field survey. On the first day, the team visited the Egypt Hospital and the Mogadishu Somalia-Turkey Training and Research Hospital in the capital, Mogadishu. Analyzing the situation in the hospitals and identifying the needs, the team plans to prepare a report by analyzing the latest situation in the region.

AID Board Member Cihad Aygün, who traveled to Somalia to examine the latest situation on the ground, stated that they came to the region to conduct a field survey and that they would be working there for approximately 10 days. Aygün said the following:

"Here, we first visited the Egypt Hospital, which was established seven years ago by the Arab Doctors Union. The complex, a 170-bed hospital, admits a thousand patients weekly. Doctors come here periodically from Egypt and serve the Somali people. Compared to other hospitals in the region, the Egypt Hospital is in a relatively good condition."

The team then visited the Mogadishu Somalia-Turkey Training and Research Hospital, which began operations due to the 2011 crisis and started providing professional services in 2014. Touring the hospital's various units and gathering information about hospital activities, the AID team expressed their gratitude to the hospital management for their work. Speaking about the visit, Aygün said, "Our Turkish doctors here had considered working on the crisis in the Baidoa region, but due to conditions in the area, they were not able to fully achieve their goals. In fact, they were only able to deliver the medicines they had prepared to the region under UN supervision after 10 days."

A report is being prepared.

On the second day of its visit, the AID team departed from the capital Mogadishu to examine the crisis in Baidoa on the ground. The report that the team will prepare will later be shared with the public.
