Somalia is facing a humanitarian crisis. Your support can help save lives.
Right now, children across Somalia are experiencing the devastating effects of severe drought caused by four consecutive failed rainy seasons. Combined with increased conflict within the region and soaring food prices, the humanitarian situation is dire.
Nearly 6.7 million people across Somalia are projected to be acutely food insecure by December 2022, and an estimated 54.5 per cent of children in Somalia are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition by June 2023.
Drought, looming hunger and the resurgence of armed conflict have led to forced displacement. And with many children and their families relying on untreated water from shallow wells and drought-affected rivers, there are increasing concerns for public health as cholera cases spike.
Across the world, children are in the grip of a malnutrition crisis, and it is rapidly getting worse by the day. Your donation will help UNICEF fearlessly deliver life-saving supplies and therapeutic food to children in Somalia and across the Horn of Africa and beyond.
