In the last few months, tens of thousands of people have died as a result of causes related to malnutrition; the majority of them are children. On 20 July, the Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Mark Bowden, issued a press statement saying, ?If we don?t act now, famine will spread to all other eight regions of southern Somalia within the next two month, due to poor harvests and infectious disease outbreak.? He also added that every day of delay in assistance is literally a matter of life and death for children and their families in the famine affected areas, calling for support for more resources of roughly US$300 million in the next two months. Across the country, 3.7 million people, nearly half the Somali population, are now in crisis. Of these, the majority, 2.8 million are in the eight southern regions. Famine is declared when acute malnutrition rates among children exceed 30 per cent, more than 2 people in 10,000 die per day and when people are not able to access food and other basic necessities. |
