El Niño & hunger displacement: Somalia is bracing for a new wave of climate shocks as El Niño strengthens, with drought followed by forecast heavy rains expected to drive more people from villages into cities amid already severe food insecurity. FGM law-making: Somalia held its first in-country public hearing on an East African Community bill to eliminate female genital mutilation, where prevalence is reported at about 99% and the country lacks a specific national ban. Hospital care & patient safety: Two medical case reports highlight urgent referral needs—one Mogadishu patient swallowed 30 keys and two magnets, requiring endoscopic removal and follow-up; another 9-year-old inhaled a tooth during a home extraction and needed transfers across three hospitals before surgeons removed it from the airway. Humanitarian health & nutrition funding: Qatar Charity says its 2026 relief work reached nearly QR236mn and about 5.8 million people across crisis-hit countries including Somalia, covering health, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene. Security impacts on health access: Fighting and drone strikes around Baidoa and Doolow are sending wounded civilians to hospitals, underlining how instability disrupts care and safety.
