Somalia is experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis due to escalating drought and conflict, affecting over 3.4 million people with food insecurity and 1.85 million children suffering from acute malnutrition. Women and girls are disproportionately impacted, facing early marriages and the burden of securing water and food. CARE Somalia warns that without increased funding, its operations will scale down starting October 2025, despite rising needs and forecasts of another failed rainy season. Families like Sokorey Ali Adan's have lost their livelihoods due to conflict and drought, now living in IDP camps with no access to income or education for children. The crisis highlights the urgent need for humanitarian support to prevent further suffering.
