the recent past for its very severe famine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The famine in Somalia is a result of a catastrophic combination of conflict, high food prices, and drought.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This has left more than 11 million people in desperate need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The country is currently experiencing its worst drought in nearly 40 years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A looming famine could leave more than 8 million people without enough food to eat by next summer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Somalia has seen three decades of conflict, destabilizing communities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Currently, it produces less than half the amount of food it did before its civil war began in the early 1990s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This has forced the country to become increasingly dependent on aid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_4d56b0-55 .kt-block-spacer{height:40px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_4d56b0-55
