A/HRC/33/64 IX. Refugees 74. In early May 2016, Kenya announced the closure of the Dadaab refugee camp, which has hosted thousands of Somalia refugees since the early 1990s. The decision was motivated by the increasing insecurity in Kenya and allegations that the camp had become a base for recruitment and planning of Al-Shabaab attacks on Kenyan territory. Following the announcement, on 13 May 2016 the Independent Expert held consultations with representatives of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Geneva and informed the authorities of both Somalia and Kenya of the need to honour the tripartite agreement, concluded on 10 November 2013 between Somalia, Kenya and UNHCR, which outlines a framework for the repatriation of Somali refugees in safety and dignity. 75. During their meeting, the representatives of UNHCR informed the Independent Expert that, since December 2013, it had facilitated the repatriation of some 7,000 refugees. UNHCR was optimistic that repatriations would be conducted within the framework of the tripartite agreement. X. The right to food and a livelihood 76. In 2016, the El Niño phenomenon has had an impact on parts of Somalia. The country has in the past suffered from drought, which has affected the availability of food reserves and supply. Reportedly, in some parts of Somaliland, one in 10 people is experiencing food insecurity. In Puntland, between 60 and 70 per cent of pastoral households have migrated in search of water and pasture land. According to the Rapid Results Drought Response Plan of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), people are for various reasons suffering from loss of food and sources of income, which in turn is reducing their purchasing power and increasing debt. Some will be forced to sell their livestock, hence affecting their recovery and resilience capacity. FAO has appealed for $17 million to help more than 1 million people to cope with food shortages and other needs.3 77. Heavy rains in the Ethiopian highlands caused flooding in Beletweyne, displacing some 70,000 people, of whom 36,000 were forced to settle in a camp, while others moved to neighbouring villages. Lifesaving sanitation and hygiene supplies, including mobile clinics, were provided. In total, about 4.7 million people in Somalia are in need of humanitarian assistance; 950,000 currently suffer from food insecurity. Overall, the 2016 humanitarian response plan of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs requires $885 million, of which it has received only $288 million.4 XI.
