Horn of Africa: Populations Impacted by Hunger and Disease Malnutrition and Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD)/Cholera
H U M A N I TA R I A N I N F O R M AT I O N U N I T
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.
Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM)* category Very critical (>30%) Critical (15-30%) Serious (10-14%)
