During my recent visit to Kismayo, I saw firsthand the impact of malnutrition on children and families, and the importance of timely nutrition support.

No parent should have to wonder whether help will be there when their child needs it most. Yet as malnutrition rises across Somalia, resources are not keeping pace with growing needs. We must act now to sustain life-saving nutrition services and protect the most vulnerable children. #Somalia

A productive meeting with H.E. Ahmed Mohamed Islam @PresidentMadobe, President of Jubaland. We discussed the evolving humanitarian needs across the region and the importance of strong partnerships to support communities facing food insecurity and climate-related challenges.. #Somalia #Jubaland

Welcome to WFP, @LukeJLindberg! Wishing you every success in your new role. We look forward to working together to advance food security and support vulnerable communities across Somalia.

These figures paint a terrifying picture of the reality on ground here in Somalia. Millions are losing the only means of support they once had and we can’t just sit down and watch.
