Somali children face worsening malnutrition as Middle East conflict disrupts aid supplies

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the Middle East conflict is driving up the cost of humanitarian supplies, exacerbating food shortages in countries like Somalia and across Africa. The UN warns that global food prices are rising and that 45 million more people could face acute hunger by June. CARE calls for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and highlights the potential for devastating consequences due to reduced aid support amid this crisis.
