Famine threatens lives of millions in Somalia - UNHCR

As Muslims around the globe observe Ramadan, hundreds of thousands of Families in the Horn of Africa face a growing risk of mass deaths from starvation due to a disastrous combination of droughts, and entrenched conflict. 

While we share what God has bestowed on us with family, friends, and loved ones, millions of displaced persons live in unbearable circumstances; days passing with no food to break their Ramadan fast.

Somalia
2.9 Million 
are at risk of famine

360,000

South Sudan

During the holy month, UNHCR is scaling up and will continue to deliver emergency nutrition, medical aid, clean water and protection to displaced families in the most affected areas - but we are facing severe funding shortfalls and we can’t do this alone. 

Children and families need your help during Ramadan to survive another day! Please Give Now.
