Ijabu Hassan has had no chance to grieve the deaths of her children. She's had to focus on keeping the others alive. Her four-year-old and five-year-old died from malnutrition in their inland town of Burhakaba, victims of a record drought that has propelled Somalia to the brink of famine.
Her daughter Muslimo is 18 months old but weighs just over 10 pounds. Papery skin is stretched tautly over her jutting ribs. She doesn't cry. The doctor measures her tiny forearm. The tape shows red, indicating severe malnutrition.
This clinic has seen an 80% spike in the number of cases in the last month alone and a staggering 265% increase in severe malnutrition in children under the age of 5, IRC senior nutrition manager, Mukhtar Mahdi says

Why are the people back home living in harsh conditions having children who will live like hell from loss of food and water, this the 3rd article i seen this week with the same type story. Its sad that they won't think to not have children and make more people who will suffer from this famine. Whats the point ? You're in a famine and giving birth to 4-6 children who will die from hunger. Majority of the seriously impacted people are all children
We need to educate the people back home to use logic, sad shit constantly seeing miskeen kids on news articles who barely weigh anything suffering from this shit
