With such rates, Somalia is on the brink of a tragedy of a magnitude not seen in decades,&#8221; he insisted.<\/p>\n<p>After four missing rainy seasons since late 2020, and with a fifth one approaching in October, Somalia is sinking into a famine.<\/p>\n<p>Across the country, 7.8 million people, nearly half of the population, are affected by drought, with 213,000 of them at serious risk of famine, according to the UN.<\/p>\n<p>The head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Martin Griffiths, said in early September that without urgent action, a state of famine will be declared in the southern regions of Baidoa and Burhakaba between October and December.<\/p>\n<p>According to Griffiths, the situation is worse than the last famine recorded in 2011, which killed 260,000 people, more than half of whom were children under 5 years of age.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/angola\">Angola<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Angola.
