More than 6 million Somalis face hunger amid climate shocks and conflict

In Somalia's southern port city, the land has become an open graveyard for cattle due to consecutive failed rainy seasons. Pastoralist families, who rely on livestock for food and income, are facing severe loss. The crisis is driven by repeated climate shocks, with multiple failed rainy seasons and uneven rainfall, leading to severe food insecurity and malnutrition. Children are among the most affected, with an estimated 1.8 million under five at risk of acute malnutrition.
