UN Security Council highlighted Somalia's dire humanitarian needs due to climate shocks and ongoing efforts to combat Al-Shabaab. 5,000 AU Transition Mission troops have left since June 2023, with further reductions planned. Over 3.8 million people are displaced, and $1.6 billion is needed for the 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan, only 24% funded. Tensions between Ethiopia and Somalia were noted, urging peaceful resolution.
