After Somalia’s last famine killed over a quarter of a million people — half of them children under the age of 5 — the international community vowed that it would heed every warning so that next time would be different. Sadly, history is repeating itself: Climate-fueled disasters, rising food prices, and a strained global food system have driven hunger to its lowest lows. [Without urgent action right now, Somalia will plunge into famine for the second time in a decade.](113/cssrH04/MW7nN846vFCW18cNDW1T7NZHVcSh174Qjkn-N3Z5r9Z5nCW9V3Zsc37CgTWGW93cG-d2mc00vN54Dy3mjgV08VGSXCG5tT4WQW95njyJ80p4HrVDjsLb2ChTwsN2Sh9Y_yzrzkW24VsD886G-rQT79sf6TTd2xN9g0DXpB-cDQW8FwcL52tD0TCW5FFpJc8_jJFXW8kDGpN3dB-J0N7JwSBdZ-XHCW7MpgTB5rXDxpW8yVCBZ1pCmNWW5_q8YF82RKLBW1CqS255s_VMDW5wvjK33sFX9sW4yZtFF1n5VtCV439b81xybYNW8-l9RD83JqK2W3zskrC7rG68cN3MM89vCX1KKW1CQF2G2KlvLbW933sfk7SNZYYW50R-dg7K9tp3W5HrGp66hwyYzW6LSmMF7CwXcPV1vjd656_NXWW5G4jlv5fqQbhVh_XkH7_W_bYVq_Xp52qG3G9VVH-W_8p8NrJN8H-VqNV5-DXW3ky2Kq6-m-m-W690zxB25VMmNW6xg60w3mTSj1W7NY7YK1R5dbVW5y1y7J23WPWJW6WyBvM2kwqtSVngYs34p6ZJPW77n8mX21RsXr36jQ1) The swelling global hunger crisis has been a topic of discussion at the UN General Assembly, but talk is cheap. Oxfam and trusted partner organizations have already mounted a dedicated hunger response around the world — rushing aid to people in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and beyond.

It is completely within their power to prevent future tragedies, but only if they take meaningful action to curb emissions, guarantee adequate climate financing, and more. Oxfam is committed to calling out injustice during the UN General Assembly and beyond.
