A nurse feeds 2-year-old Suldano Idow, who is severely malnourished, with the help of his father, Idow Abdirahman, in the pediatric stabilization center at Banadir Hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia, on June 13. Banadir Hospital is dealing with a growing number of severe malnutrition cases being referred from different regions of Somalia. MOGADISHU, Somalia — Inside Banadir Hospital, Boshey Maalim cradled her 3-year-old girl, Iqra.

On my last visit to Somalia a decade ago, I flew in on an aging plane with torn, rickety seats that swung past the coast of the Indian Ocean and swooped down for a swift landing.

A pickup truck filled with armed men waited to take me into the city, where I would spend my nights sleeping on the floor of an office inside the nation’s Information Ministry, among the most heavily guarded places at the time. The militia members were from the same clan, procured by a trusted friend. They cost $1,000 a day.

Maalim and Iqra fled an area controlled by al-Shabab because there was no food, aid agencies or medical clinics.
