Somali children and women received a high-impact life-saving health package during the Child Health Days Campaign in the Afgoye Corridor, a 30 kilometre stretch of road west of Mogadishu and the world’s most densely populated settlement for displaced people.

At least 46,000 children under-five and 37,000 women of child-bearing age benefited during the five-day campaign. Afgoye currently hosts over 524,000 displaced people driven out of their homes due to the conflict in Mogadishu and the south, who are enduring harsh living conditions and lacking even the most basic social services.
