While providing aid is essential, we must also address the root causes of hunger in Somalia, such as prolonged conflict and climate change. Short-term assistance without long-term solutions may lead to dependency rather than sustainable recovery.

The international community should consider enhancing local agricultural practices in Somalia, which would help reduce dependency on foreign aid. Supporting local farmers can be a sustainable way to combat hunger in the long run.
