Situation Update
• Somalia continues to face a multitude of challenges including climatic shocks, flash and riverine floods, and armed conflicts. The Food Security Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) assessment results released in April, projected 6.6 million people to face Crisis level or worse food insecurity between April and June 2023 – with 40,000 people projected to face Catastrophic hunger. 1.8 million children under five years are estimated to suffer from acute malnutrition in 2023, while 478,000 of them are likely to be facing life-threatening severe malnutrition.
• The climate crisis has continued to drive huge numbers of people from their homes. 1.8 million of the four million displacements since January 2021 was caused by the drought, and the rest largely attributable to conflict.
Internally displaced people (IDPs) are some of the most vulnerable people in Somalia.
