Malnutrition is a critical risk factor in Somalia, as in most countries where nutrition and food security remain a fundamental challenge to child survival. This report presents the summary of 50 anthropometric and retrospective mortality surveys conducted from May 2014 to July 2014 (Post-Gu) covering 34,162 children (6-59 months) from 18,022 households across most regions and livelihood zones of Somalia.
-
Results from these surveys indicate that 14.9 percent of the population of children under the age of five in Somalia are acutely malnourished, with 2.6 percent being severely malnourished.
-
Among the worst results for both global acute malnutrition (GAM) and mortality were internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Mogadishu and Kismayo.

Occasionally, FEWS NET will publish a Special Report that serves to provide an in-depth analysis of food security issues of particular concern that are not covered in FEWS NET’s regular monthly reporting. These reports may focus on a specific factor driving food security outcomes anywhere in the world during a specified period of time. For example, in 2019, FEWS NET produced a Special Report on widespread flooding in East Africa and its associated impacts on regional food security.
