MOGADISHU, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- About 2.1 million people in Somalia face acute food insecurity between October and December due to the combined effects of severe flooding, desert locust infestation, socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 and the cumulative impacts of previous shocks, the UN warned on Wednesday.
According to assessment results by Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU), which was managed by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), about 849,900 children under the age of five are likely to be acutely malnourished through August 2021.
