The U.N. warns Somalia could be facing famine within months, while as many as half a million children under the age of 5 could die by mid-2023. Hunger has already claimed many lives, with 200,000 people facing catastrophic food shortages due to a protracted drought, rising food costs and violent insurgent attacks. Three million people have been displaced. Some analysts say Somalia is already experiencing famine and are urging an official declaration to help garner urgently needed aid and attention.
