Mogadishu — 25 August 2026: Somalia’s food crisis is worsening, with millions of people facing severe hunger and many children at risk of malnutrition. A report by Reuters, citing UNICEF, says the humanitarian situation has deteriorated as funding and aid for those in need have declined. Many families depend on humanitarian assistance for food and basic services. Drought, conflict and economic hardship are also making life harder for vulnerable people. UNICEF has warned that children are the hardest hit, especially those suffering from severe acute malnutrition. Aid agencies are calling for increased support to prevent the situation from getting even worse.
