El Niño Hunger & Health Emergency: UN warns El Niño rains could push Somalia toward famine, with 5.4 million people facing crisis hunger or worse (1.5 million at emergency levels) and 1.92 million under-five children needing treatment for acute malnutrition; flooding risk could also raise waterborne disease threats as many health facilities are closed or running at reduced capacity.
