Civilians are fleeing and essential services are disrupted

The humanitarian situation in the city of Mooyaale and the surrounding areas is worsening, with many civilians fleeing their homes out of fear that the fighting will reach their neighborhoods.

It has also been reported that water and electricity have been cut off in the city, further complicating the daily lives of those remaining in Mooyaale, especially families unable to move to safer areas.

The disruption of basic services is raising concerns about the situation of civilians, as access to clean water and other essential services for community life may become difficult.

The casualties of the fighting have not yet been confirmed.

So far, there is no official comprehensive information regarding the number of people killed and injured in the fighting on the fourth day in Mooyaale, as well as the extent of damage to civilian property.
