Description :
In several districts of the Gedo and Bakool region such as in El Berde (Bakool) the ICRC launched de-stocking projects. De-stocking means, to buy animals (mainly goats and sheep) from pastoralists while they are still in fair condition. The animals are slaughtered immediately and the meat is distributed fresh to vulnerable people in the area or air-dried to transport to areas where a lack of protein has been observed.
In El Berde and other districts of Bakool Red Crescent volunteers slaughtered 5000 goats and sheep. ICRC personnel and the volunteers distributed the meat to 5000 families, many of which are internally displaced persons that fled their homes due to armed confrontations
