[Minister Abdinasir Abdi Arush @nasirarush]

The following is the summary of the Ministry Press Release today:

South West State has made the humanitarian crisis its top priority, with President @Laftagaren backing the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs for a coordinated response.

The Ministry recommends to President of Federal Republic of Somalia to elevate responding this crisis as #1 National Agenda priority by leading resource mobilization, convene high level summit in Mogadishu and ensure timely flow of resources to States.

(SoDMA) is in place at the federal level, its operational capacity is insufficient and not in a position to independently lead a response of this magnitude.

To strengthen local response, SWS will activate District Emergency Response Committees and coordinate closely with OCHA, clusters, ABC structures, and CELL meetings in Baidoa for rapid, real‑time action.

The current Humanitarian Crises in Somalia is urgent and worrisome.

Situation Update:

Since the start of the year, Food Security and Nutrition Assessment Unit (FSNAU) IPC Phase classification reports show a steady rise in the number of people facing Phase 4 food insecurity — the emergency level — across the South West State:
•Jan–Mar: 72,150
•Apr–Jun: 139,970
•Jul–Sep: 150,540
•Oct–Dec: 227,340

The chart clearly shows this worsening trend.

Nutrition crisis deepens in South West State: FSNAU projects more than 134,000 children under 5 will suffer from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) between Aug 2025–July 2026 which is 32% of Somalia’s total caseload.

Rising food insecurity and malnutrition in South West State signal a looming humanitarian crisis.

Without urgent action, Emergency-level cases will continue to climb through late 2025 and into early 2026 and potentially could escalate into Phase 5 (catastrophe) by early 2026.

The Ministry urgently call upon Somalia’s international partners, donors, and humanitarian organizations to scale up life-saving food and nutrition interventions.
