The increase in needs is due mainly to the addition of 600 000 urban poor, who are struggling to meet their household food needs in the face of rapidly increasing food and basic commodity prices, according to a recent assessment of FAO's Food Security Analysis Unit (FSAU) for Somalia. The number of internally displaced people from Mogadishu, the capital, has also increased - by over 20 percent since January - and is now at 855 000 people, bringing the total number of IDPs in the country to over 1 million.
