Humanitarian Crisis Deepens in Somalia as Hundreds of Health Centers Close

Hundreds of health facilities across Somalia have been forced to close due to aid cuts, drought, rising prices, and severe funding shortages, according to CARE. This has cut off life-saving care for pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children, with nearly 2 million children acutely malnourished. The crisis is compounded by global supply disruptions, including those linked to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which have driven up the cost of essential supplies.
