Help Children in Somalia
Page updated: 3 July 2025
Somalia is facing one of the most severe emergencies in the worst global hunger crisis this century. As the Horn of Africa faces its worst drought in 40 years, 1.5 million children in Somalia – or one in five - could face deadly forms of malnutrition by October without immediate action. Somalia has long been one of the hardest places on earth to be a child. Ranked third only to Syria and Afghanistan, Somalia tops a list of the 10 most dangerous conflict-affected countries to be a child. Decades of civil war have left the country mired in poverty and, in many places, without a functioning government. Today, as drought in East Africa decimates people’s ability to raise livestock or grow crops and the war in Ukraine drives up food prices, Save the Children is working to meet the most urgent needs of children and families.
