At least 730 children in Somalia have already died from severe acute malnutrition. UNICEF calls for more support as deteriorating conditions lead areas of Somalia's Bay region to the brink of famine.

Some 1.4 million children in drought-stricken Somalia currently are or are projected be acutely malnourished this year, according to UNICEF.

On a mission to Mogadishu this week, UNICEF spokesperson James Elder said that the current situation appears even worse than in 2011, when famine last struck Somalia, killing over 250,000 people.
