Maryam, a Somali woman, was forced to leave her village due to failed rains and widespread malnutrition. She sought help from international aid agencies in Kismayo after burying two of her children. Over 300,000 Somalis have been displaced since January, with many facing hunger and limited access to aid in makeshift settlements. The ongoing drought, worsened by cuts in foreign aid, has led to the closure of health centers and schools, leaving vulnerable populations without essential services.

The recent cuts in foreign aid have exacerbated the situation, leading to a humanitarian crisis with widespread malnutrition and lack of basic services. As the crisis worsens, international organizations struggle to raise necessary funds to address the growing needs of displaced populations, highlighting the urgency of the situation in Somalia.
