The World Health Organization (WHO)<\/a> called for securing $123.7 million to respond to rising health needs and prevent a food crisis from turning into a health crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation is already catastrophic, and\u00a0we need to act now,\u201d said Ibrahima Soce Fall, WHO Assistant Director General for Emergencies Response. \u201cWe cannot continue in this underfunding crisis\u201d.<\/p>\n

More than 37 million people are facing acute hunger, with approximately seven million children under the age of five acutely malnourished in the Horn of Africa region.<\/p>\n

While finding food and safe water is the absolute priority,\u00a0WHO<\/a>\u00a0said that\u00a0ensuring a strong health emergency response\u00a0is needed to avert preventable disease and deaths.<\/p>\n

Climate change, conflict, rising food prices and the\u00a0COVID-19<\/a>\u00a0pandemic have compounded one of the worst droughts in the region in recent decades, according to the WHO\u00a0appeal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are now four seasons where the rain didn\u2019t come as predicted and a fifth season is estimated to also fail. Places where there is drought the problem keeps worsening and worsening,\u201d said WHO Incident Manager Sophie Maes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn other places like South Sudan, there have been three years of consecutive flooding with almost 40 per cent of the country being flooded. And we are looking at something that is\u00a0going to get worse in the near future.”<\/p>\n

Acute malnutrition leads to increased migration as populations move in search of food and pasture, according to WHO.<\/p>\n

And disruptions often result in deteriorating hygiene and sanitation as outbreaks of infectious diseases, like cholera, measles, and malaria, are already on the rise.<\/p>\n

Moreover, weak vaccination coverage and health services with insufficient resources could see a widespread increase in the number of disease outbreaks in country and across borders.<\/p>\n

Care for severely malnourished children with medical complications will be\u00a0severely impacted\u00a0and result in high child mortality rates.<\/p>\n

Disruptions in access to health care can further increase morbidity and mortality, as emergency conditions force populations to modify their health-seeking behavior and prioritize access to life-saving resources such as food and water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
