A leading Somali charity has issued a stark warning that one million people face imminent starvation as international funding for disaster relief dries up. The organization, whose name was not disclosed in the Bloomberg report, states that critical food aid programs and malnutrition treatment centers are being forced to shut down due to a severe lack of financial resources.

This funding shortfall comes as the country grapples with a devastating drought and ongoing conflict, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation. The charity emphasizes that without immediate and substantial financial intervention from the international community, this crisis will escalate rapidly, pushing vulnerable populations closer to famine conditions.
