Somalia: Conflict Incidents Affecting Aid, Health, and Education Infrastructure

Insecurity Insight documents reported incidents of violence and threats against aid operations, education, food systems, and healthcare services in Somalia. This dataset incorporates records cited in Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC) annual reports and covers various sectors including water and food security. The data is provided in XLSX format and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the frequency of attacks on 'health facilities' to identify high-risk zones for medical personnel
• Correlating 'fatalities' with 'aid worker security' incidents to assess the lethality of conflict environments
• Mapping 'damage assessment' of 'education facilities-schools' to prioritize reconstruction efforts

Strengths

• Aggregates data from the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC)
• Covers four distinct essential service sectors: aid, education, food/water, and health
• Includes damage assessments and fatality indicators

Limitations

• Potential underreporting of incidents due to the nature of active conflict zones
• Lack of granular column metadata in the source description
