UNICEF alerts on aid cuts affecting Somali children
UNICEF considers that reducing humanitarian aid in Somalia threatens the lives of around 1.2 million children, especially amid increasing cases of severe malnutrition and limited access to vital services. The organization explained that these reductions have led to the closure of hundreds of nutrition and health facilities, and a 32% increase in the number of children receiving treatment in the first six months of the year, due to the decline in community prevention services. The situation is exacerbated by drought, anticipated floods resulting from the El Niño phenomenon, and rising costs of fuel and fertilizers, which intensify the challenges of protecting children and ensuring they receive the necessary assistance.
