Somalia & Médecins Sans Frontières

Somalia: Somalia is the epicenter of the crisis, facing severe drought, displacement, and a surge in child malnutrition. The country's stability and development are at risk as aid cuts exacerbate the humanitarian situation.

Médecins Sans Frontières: MSF is on the frontlines treating malnutrition, reporting a significant funding drop and a surge in cases. It is struggling to meet the growing needs.

Somalia: The federal government successfully repelled an opposition attack in Baidoa, reinforcing its control but highlighting ongoing instability and armed resistance that could undermine governance and economic stability.

Médecins Sans Frontières: MSF operates facilities in Baidoa and reported receiving casualties from the fighting. The violence hampers its humanitarian work in a region already facing severe malnutrition.

Médecins Sans Frontières: Médecins Sans Frontières reports that rising fuel prices in Somalia have driven up transport and food costs, making it harder for people to get care.
