During this time of war and famine in Somalia, disease threats are encyclopedic both for Somalis and visitors. Malnutrition will amplify the magnitude and severity of endemic tropical infectious diseases. Necessary crowding around life-saving food distribution centers could turn focal infectious disease outbreaks into large epidemics.
