Malnutrition and diarrhealdisease cyclePoor nutrition inhibits the body’s response to infection. Infections can worsen nutritional status, increasing the risk of mortality.

*Global acute malnutrition (GAM) measured on children under five Administrative boundary

An estimated 37 million people are in need of emergency food assistance and 1.2 million children under five are severely malnourished in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, and Yemen due to ongoing drought and conflict. Outbreaks of diarrheal disease, including Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD)/cholera, further worsen the situation. Children suffering from acute malnutrition are more susceptible to developing diarrheal diseases that commonly last longer and are more severe, putting them at greater risk of mortality.

*A revised flash appeal was released in September requiring $106 million

*An additional $300 million is required for the Productive

Saftey Net Program

*Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) classified based on severity of clinical signs of malnutrition. GAM is the sum of the prevalence of SAM and MAM at the population level.Note: Figures based on latest available data

Protracted drought in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia and conflict in South Sudan and Yemen, exacerbated by disease, has worsened food security and malnutrition. • Ethiopia: 8.5 million people need food aid, in addition to 8 million chronically food insecure. • Kenya: About 5.6 million people need humanitarian assistance. • Somalia: Drought has internally displaced 860,000 people, a population with high acute malnutrition levels. • South Sudan: Over 1.7 million people are on thebrink of famine. • Yemen: Breakdown of health, water and sanitation infrastructure has contributed to over 650,000 suspected cases of cholera; 60% of the population is food insecure.
