Estimates of the number of children wasted during the four seasons from 2007 to 2010 in Somalia. This was obtained by multiplying the posterior mean proportion of wasted children at each 1 × 1 km pixel with the corresponding population of the under-fives provided by WorldPop population grids (Linard et al., 2010). The results were then summed up by season and WHO prevalence class for each zone. The April–June season is the main rainy season ‘Gu’; October–November is the short rainy season ‘Deyr’; July–September is the short dry season ‘Hagaa’; and the December–March is the long dry season ‘Jilaal’.
