"Hunger Grips Somalia: Drought, Conflict, and Aid Cuts Combine to Plunge IDPs into Crisis A perfect storm of drought, conflict, and reduced aid is pushing Somalia's internally displaced persons (IDPs) to the brink of starvation in Kismayo's already struggling camps. The crisis has been exacerbated by a severe drought that has decimated crops and livestock, leaving thousands without a reliable source of food.

As a result, IDPs in Kismayo are facing a desperate situation, with many struggling to access even the most basic necessities, including food and clean water."
