In the Somali city of Baidoa, health clinics warn of a worsening vaccination and malnutrition crisis among children. This is Moazzam Malik of Save the Children.
Moazzam Malik: “Many communities, many children, many families are very vulnerable following drought years over the last few years, the loss of livelihoods, the loss of livestock, and they’re in desperate need. And at the same time that they face desperate needs with drought, with climate change impacts, they’re of course suffering now the impact of aid cuts.”
As the U.S. cuts aid to Somalia, U.S. warplanes carried out more airstrikes in Somalia last week. It was the 49th U.S. airstrike on Somalia since Trump returned to office, according to the group New America.
