Doctors confirmed that malnutrition was the primary factor in Maka’il’s decline.The nutrition center at Banadir Hospital where Ma’ow family had been receiving food assistance is run by Alight Africa, a local partner for the U.N. children’s agency, UNICEF, and one that has lost funding.

The funding cuts have left UNICEF’s partners unable to provide lifesaving support, including therapeutic supplies and supplemental nutrition at a time when 15% of Somali children are acutely malnourished, said Simon Karanja, a regional UNICEF official.One Alight Africa worker, Abdullahi Hassan, confirmed that the group had to close all their nutrition centers in several districts of Mogadishu.
