Somali children face hunger as funding drops over 80
Somalia is facing a severe food crisis resulting from ongoing drought and conflict, with reports from Doctors Without Borders indicating a serious deterioration of the situation. Funding for combating severe malnutrition has decreased by over 80% this year, as U.S. support has dropped from $70 million to zero, hindering relief efforts amidst rising cases of malnutrition among children (where one in four children suffers from severe malnutrition). Additionally, repeated drought seasons and internal displacement efforts have worsened the crisis, with conditions expected to continue declining if urgent support is not mobilized, as current financial aid is insufficient to meet the growing needs.
