Somalia at ‘real risk of famine’ as Middle East war fallout continues

At least six million people in Somalia are facing food insecurity, with nearly two million young children at high risk of illness or death. The ongoing Middle East conflict and global supply chain issues are exacerbating the humanitarian crisis, leading to rising fuel prices and increased costs for aid delivery. Concerns are growing that famine could occur in the Barakaba district of Somalia due to these factors.
