A report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification has raised alarm over a deepening hunger crisis in Somalia. The latest findings show that more than 6 million people,  nearly one in three Somalis, are facing acute food insecurity, with close to 2 million already in emergency conditions.

Oxfam says communities are no longer coping,  they are simply trying to survive, as water sources dry up, crops fail, and families are forced to flee their homes in search of food.

Mpho Sithole spoke to Sameer Kariya, Oxfam's Humanitarian Lead in Somalia, to unpack the scale of this crisis and what urgent action is needed.
