The extreme climate change and effects of famine are causing high death rates of children in Somalia,
breaking the records of last 60 years. There can be multiple reasons listed which are responsible for
causing a massive damage including El Ninho. El Ninho is a climate effect which causes the oceans to
warm more than its temperature. This natural phenomenon is causing the change in climates and
temperature of land and oceans.
Africa especially Somalia is badly affected by the El Ninho which results in less rain in the area as low as
2 to 8 inches below the normal rain in a year. This leads to drought in Somalia throughout the year,
scarcity of food and shortage of water due to no agricultural activities in most of the area or little
options for agriculture are available.
The people of Somalia are even short on drinking water and therefore the death rate is increasing
majorly consisting of infants and children. It is estimated that the extreme climate change, famine and
massive drought in the history will cause more damage to the Somalian as food available for each
person is still not sufficient.
The unstable political conditions of Somalia have made the conditions worse. NGOs and UN have less
access to the people and food cannot be fully supplied in the areas affected by the famine. The land of
Somalia is known for the biggest and longest drought of the history and uncontrollable climate changes
are predicted in the future as well. In addition, the El Ninho time duration is also shortened from 2 years
to 11 months to cause more damage. Due to all the above reasons, about 5 million people of Somalia
are dying each year and most of the population is undernourished. Apart from that 200 million
population of Somalia is malnourished due to famine and drought.
