Famine Watch: The UN released $10 million from its emergency fund to help prevent famine in Somalia, targeting about 640,000 people with lifesaving food, nutrition, health and water support as severe hunger and malnutrition worsen. Health Access Under Strain: CARE warns that drought, rising prices and funding cuts have forced the closure of nearly 50 health and nutrition centers it supports and about 500 primary health care facilities nationwide, leaving pregnant women, nursing mothers and young children without care and risking outbreaks like cholera, measles and diphtheria. Pediatric Surgery Relief: Hormuud Salaam Foundation wrapped up a week-long free pediatric surgery campaign at Siman Hospital in Mogadishu, bringing Italian specialists to treat Somali children with urological and congenital reproductive conditions. Climate & Disease Pressure: UNICEF reports almost all children worldwide face at least one climate hazard, with overlapping risks that can overwhelm water, healthcare and disaster systems—an urgent reminder for Somalia’s drought-linked health threats. Local Capacity Boost: Somalia’s Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation received Turkish office equipment to modernize operations, supporting efforts toward food self-sufficiency.
