One million people displaced by drought in Somalia, says UN

Ali Abdullahi Mohamed, a severely malnourished 27-month-old boy, is examined by a nurse for treatment in Banadir Maternity and Children Hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia.

Somalia and its neighbours in the Horn of Africa including Ethiopia and Kenya are gripped by the worst drought in more than 40 years after four failed rainy seasons that have decimated crops and livestock.“This one million milestone serves as a massive alarm bell for Somalia,” said Mohamed Abdi, the NRC’s country director in Somalia.

The number of people facing crisis hunger levels in Somalia is expected to rise from some five million to more than seven million in the coming months, worsened by climate change and rising food prices driven by the Ukraine war, the UNHCR said. It said the world could not wait for famine to be formally declared before taking action to save lives.“The Somalia situation was already one of the most underfunded before this latest crisis,” said Magatte Guisse, UNHCR’s representative in Somalia.
