During our visit, we assessed key facilities, including Hobyo General Hospital, local health posts, and the Hobyo IDP camp. Our findings revealed a critical shortage of healthcare workers, as many had fled due to escalating insecurity and worsening environmental conditions—most notably, the rapid encroachment of sand dunes threatening the city.

Interviews with local communities highlighted the urgent need for sustained and strengthened healthcare services. Residents emphasized the pressing demand for medical personnel, essential supplies, and long-term support to address the worsening humanitarian situation.
