In terms of Nutrition situation, Somali Region still reports over 8,000 new admissions to TFP each month, for SAM treatment among children aged 6-59 months. This is more than three times the average monthly caseload for the region and is indicative both of the ongoing food security crisis and the scale up in CMAM service availability.

Critical needs for relief food, emergency health and nutrition services and WASH services make up a ‘humanitarian bundle approach’ being developed by partners to reach some of the most remote communities where severe acute lack of access to water and pasture has resulted in dramatic loss of livestock and livelihood, mass displacement and escalating admissions to CMAM treatment services.
