A new study from Action Against Hunger shows that a significant percentage of children successfully treated for severe acute malnutrition are vulnerable to relapse.
Torrential rains in Somalia have caused the country’s worst flooding in decades, resulting in 29 deaths, impacting more than 1.1 million people, and displacing more than 334,000 from their homes.
As millions of people face famine in Somalia, Action Against Hunger is providing lifesaving malnutrition treatment to children like three-year-old Abdullahi.
Action Against Hunger and our partners are helping to meet urgent needs in disaster-prone communities of Somalia, especially by promoting water, sanitation, and health services.
Below-normal rains between March and May could further stress limited food and water supplies as, across the Horn of Africa, an estimated 46 million people — more than the population of California — urgently need food assistance.
