Humanitarian needs remain acute in Somalia as result of continued conflict and repeated climatic shocks. An estimated 2.6 million people are internally displaced (IDPs), including more than 500,000 IDPs in Banadir region alone. Despite recent improvements in the food security situation, Somalia is now once again facing a major humanitarian emergency. The 2019 Gu rains season performed poorly and could in some areas completely fail, further jeopardizing the survival and well-being of children. Some 5.4 million are expected to be acutely food insecure by July, including 2.2 million who are likely to be in severe acute food insecurity conditions (IPC 3 and above), a 40 per cent increase from January 2019. More than 1.1 million children will suffer from acute malnutrition in Somalia in 2019, with nearly 220,000 children at risk of life-threatening severe acute malnutrition (SAM).
