Somalia is facing another devastating crisis which has seen 110 people die in just two days in one region.

The drought is causing widespread famine and a serious humanitarian crisis.

The prime minister’s office said in a statement:

“It is a difficult situation for the pastoralists and their livestock,”

The Huff reported:

The humanitarian situation in Somalia has deteriorated sharply over the past six months, as last year’s rainy seasons were worse than usual and the forecasts for this spring are poor as well, Reuters explains.

The United Nations has warned that almost half of Somalia’s population, or 6.2 million people, are severely food-insecure or in need of livelihood support. More than 360,000 acutely malnourished and 70,000 severely malnourished children in the East African nation need urgent and life-saving support, according to the World Health Organization.
