Reports say hundreds of children in the IDPS camps around Beladweyn town are also continuing to suffer this devasting condition.
Mumino Haji Elmi told her ordeal to our reporter in the region after losing two of her children through malnutrition and diarrheal diseases.
“I was helpless to see two of my beloved children die of malnutrition exacerbated by lack of funding and a shortage of food”she said
She warns many of them will die if they do not receive immediate treatment in order to survive .
These problems are compounded by Somalia’s massive displacement – the world’s highest over the past two decades.
More than one million people have been made homeless because of drought and war. And many of these people are forced to move two or three times a year.
The malnutrition crisis comes as the humanitarian Aid workers in the region are facing difficulties to reach out the victims suffering the ailment
