The country of Somalia is expecting a famine in the coming months, according to a new food security report released by the United Nations.
The report warns that famine is projected between April and June of next year in two parts of Somalia’s southwestern Bay region and among displaced people in the town of Baidoa and the capital, Mogadishu. It says the "most likely scenario" will see more than 700,000 people in those areas in famine.
Several other parts of central and southern Somalia also will see an increased risk of famine if a sixth straight rainy season fails early next year, the report says.
