AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Eye Health in Somalia: Qatar Charity has wrapped up a two-week eye care campaign at Jalkayo General Hospital in Galmudug, screening 600+ patients, providing free medicines and treatment to 300+, distributing glasses to 60+, and completing 150 cataract surgeries with lens implants—highlighting major unmet demand for ophthalmology services. Nutrition Emergency: Médecins Sans Frontières warns a record surge of severely malnourished patients is overwhelming its Bay Regional Hospital inpatient feeding centre in Baidoa, with 1,400 admissions between March and May 2026—three times 2025—driven by drought and water shortages and worsening severe food insecurity. Hunger Hotspots Warning: FAO and WFP say acute food insecurity is set to worsen in 13 hunger hotspots from June to November 2026; Somalia is flagged as a famine-risk concern in Bay region (Burhakaba District). Health & Development Funding: Somalia and the Islamic Development Bank signed a three-year $45m cooperation framework (2026–2028) focused on energy and agriculture, plus human capacity development including investments in health services. Humanitarian Context: World Refugee Day coverage underscores growing displacement and funding strain, with Somalia and the wider region cited among conflict-driven displacement pressures.
