Somalia is on the verge of famine due to drought, according to aid groups.

Somalia is on the verge of famine, according to aid groups.

In the country, which is experiencing its worst drought in a decade, at least 4.5 million people require immediate humanitarian assistance.

Animals are dying, and the cost of cities such as food and water is rising.

The number of persons internally displaced as a result of the drought is thought to be on the rise at an alarming rate.

Roadsides in southwestern Somalia are littered with the carcasses of dead goats, donkeys, and cattle.

Internally displaced people are being housed in new camps.

According to the UN, about 700,000 people have been displaced from their homes in search of food and water, with the number continuing to rise.

There is a major water deficit throughout the country, and the situation is no different in the camps.

Cholera, measles, and acute diarrhea have all increased as a result of this. A dramatic surge in admissions of extremely malnourished youngsters is being seen in medical centers.

Humanitarian organizations claim there is a severe funding shortage. They only have 3% of what they claim is required to assist the country.
