"Somalia: Life-saving assistance to people affected by the drought
Ikraan Abdiaziz in the ICU ward of the Kismayo stabilization center. Humanitarian forecasts warn that 1.4 million children, nearly half of Somalia’s under five population, are likely to suffer from acute malnutrition if the drought conditions persist.
More and more mothers are streaming into hospitals seeking life-saving treatment for their sick children. In Kismayo General Hospital, where one of the few stabilization centers in the country is located, admissions of children under the age of five have been on the rise since October last year. A similar center located in Baidoa Regional Hospital, in Somalia's central Bay region, is witnessing a similar trend. These two centers strictly cater for critical cases."
