Situation Update
• Approximately 4.6 million people in Somalia are facing high levels of food insecurity. Of these, almost 800,000 are experiencing emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC 4). Malnutrition rates are high, with 1.8 million children requiring nutrition support to address acute malnutrition. This situation is exacerbated by a confluence of factors, including dwindling humanitarian aid, ongoing clashes in some regions, climatic shocks, and economic challenges.
• Reduced funding has resulted in prioritisation and scaling back of humanitarian assistance, further worsening food insecurity, especially for already vulnerable IDPs. Additional funding of up to US$ 266 million is needed to sustain food assistance in Somalia, prevent worsening food insecurity and malnutrition, and protect the livelihoods of vulnerable communities.
