An estimated 1.7 million children between 6-59 months in Somalia will likely suffer acute malnutrition in 2025, including 466,000 cases of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and 1.2 million Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) cases. Around 64 percent of cases are concentrated in southern Somalia. Compared to last year, GAM is expected to rise by 4 percent, while SAM will increase by 9 percent. Between April and June 2025, malnutrition is likely to worsen due to disease outbreaks and reduced food access. Conditions are expected to deteriorate in ten areas, including West Golis, Northern and Central pastoral zones, and several IDP settlements. In 31 other areas, malnutrition will worsen but remain within the same IPC Phase, with ten locations in IPC AMN Phase 4 (Critical), including Mogadishu IDPs, Shabelle Riverine, and Juba Cattle Pastoral.
