Mamia ya Watoto wamefariki Dunia katika Vituo vya Lishe Nchini Somalia kuanzia Januari hadi Julai 2022 na idadi inaweza kuongezeka kutokana na mazingira ya lishe kutokuwa mazuri.
Takwimu za Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa Linaloshughulikia Watoto na Wanawake (UNICEF) zimeeleza hivyo ikiwa ni baada ya kuonya juu ya Taifa hilo kukabiliwa na njaa miezi michache ijayo kutokana na kukosekana kwa mvua huu ukiwa ni msimu wa tano mfululizo.
Vituo hivyo vina Watoto walio na Utapiamlo mkali pamoja na matatizo mengine kama vile Surua, Kipindupindu au Malaria.

More than 700 children have died in Somalia nutrition centres: UN
Hundreds of children have already died in nutrition centres across Somalia, the United Nations children’s agency (UNICEF) said on Tuesday, a day after it warned that parts of Somalia will be hit by famine in the coming months
The Horn of Africa region is on track for a fifth-consecutive failed rainy season. In 2011, a famine in Somalia claimed more than a quarter of a million lives, most of them children

“Some 730 children have been reported to have died in food and nutrition centres across the country between January and July this year but the numbers could be more as many deaths go unreported,” UNICEF Somalia representative Wafaa Saeed told a Geneva press briefing
The centres are for children with severe acute malnutrition as well as other complications such as measles, cholera or malaria and are considered just a snapshot of the situation across the country
“We don’t know the full picture. I have met many, many families whose children have died along the way (to centres)” said Victor Chinyama, the UNICEF spokesman in Mogadishu
UNICEF said that disease outbreaks were increasing among children, with some 13,000 suspected measles cases reported in recent months of which 78 percent were children under five years of age
Funding for Somalia has increased in recent weeks and the United Nations’ $1.46bn appeal is now 67-percent funded. But aid officials warned that it had come very late and that more was needed
“We are going to be witnessing the death of children on an unimaginable scale if we don’t act fast,” said Audrey Crawford, Somalia’s country director at the Danish Refugee Council
