Severe malnutrition surge in Baidoa: Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reports acute malnutrition is worsening among children in Baidoa displaced camps, with about 50% of children under five showing malnutrition since January and around 90% of affected children facing severe complications; MSF says readmissions after treatment are above 60%, pointing to families being unable to recover once they leave clinics. Funding collapse: MSF warns Somalia’s malnutrition response is being crippled by a funding drop of more than 80% this year, after the U.S. cut support from about $70 million in 2025 to zero in 2026, leaving more than 22,000 nutrition cases admitted and treatment centers stretched. Worsening hunger as aid shrinks: AP reports families fleeing drought and insecurity are arriving in Baidoa with little or no food as humanitarian funding declines, deepening the risk of preventable deaths. Health support in the region: A Chinese PLA Navy hospital ship, Auspicious Ark, made a technical stop in Djibouti and is set to provide free medical services across multiple African and South Asian countries. Health system strain signals: Somalia’s Auditor General also flagged weaknesses in governance and compliance, including issues tied to medicines inspection and storage—raising concerns for health service reliability.
