Malnutrition Emergency: Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) says funding for acute malnutrition programmes in Somalia has collapsed by more than 80% this year, with the U.S. cutting support to zero after about $70m in 2025—leaving child hunger in Baidoa and displaced camps to worsen as more severely malnourished children arrive at treatment centres. Displaced Families in Crisis: An MSF survey in Baidoa found about half of children under five show signs of malnutrition, and only 2% of families can afford three meals a day, with many children relapsing after treatment. Food Security Pressure: Somalia’s humanitarian response plan is reported as less than one-third funded, as drought and displacement drive rapid increases in acute malnutrition. Health System Strain: MSF reports it has expanded Baidoa nutrition care capacity, but severe complications and high readmission rates show the crisis is outpacing services. Regional Health Tech: The East African Community launched an AI innovation programme aimed at improving ebola detection, preparedness and response as cases rise in the region.
