Qardho is the districts headquarter for Karkaar region it has been starving with prolonged drought for the past months. The region got rains as a whole and specifically Qardho town got many consecutive rains for about two weeks without stop which caused the internally displaced person suffer a lot, since they don’t have permanent shelter and rains caused them to lost their temporary makeshift houses and spend outside at the cold as explained by a mum with 7 children just outside her collapsed house. The proximate number of IDPs in the recent assessment was 1000 families and an estimate of 505 families lost their shelter; the most effected camps include Bulo Qodax, Camp Shabelle, Tawakal and bullo faay.
 
Yesterday I visited Shabele Refugee Camp and i Met The chairman of the Camp Ali Olad Yousuf he Gave me Information about them"We are Displaced from Mogadishu and Area around it,main reasons include Warscane and Felt insecurity,Now we Felt Stability but we want Conservation Life like to help as food feeding,i want to suggest donors to help us many ways " said Ali.
 
I tried to get many Data concern them Like:-
 
Shelter:They initially had shelter made of carton and worn out clothes with less quality sticks and when the rain fall all of them went with the rain leaving nothing to shelter. Looking into the humanitarian grounds we recommend urgent intervening of the survivors by providing plastic sheets.
 
All the non-food items were washed out by the rains and they are missing to something to use as for now
 
Food:The IDPs main food source was working for the locals and gets their daily bread, since now they are in open place and they don’t have a place to shelter the children, they cant go out to look for the family bill as a mother quotes "we use to go out to get our living but now u can see we are all in an open place, we cant move because the children may burn themselves".
