‘s capital, Mogadishu. The victim of complications related to malnutrition, the boy did not survive.“Are you certain? Did he really die?” the father, Mohamed Ma’ow, asked a doctor, shocked.

The death earlier this month at Banadir Hospital captured the agony of a growing number of Somalis who are unable to feed their children — and that of health workers who are seeing hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. supportThe U.S. Agency for International Development once provided 65% of Somalia’s foreign aid, according to Dr. Abdiqani Sheikh Omar, the former director general of the Ministry of Health and now a government advisor.is being dismantled. And in Somalia, dozens of centers treating the hungry are closing. They have been crucial in a country described as having one of the world’s most fragile health systems as it wrestles with decades of insecurity.

Save the Children, the largest non-governmental provider of health and nutrition services to children in Somalia, said the lives of 55,000 children will be at risk by June as it closes 121 nutrition centers it can no longer fund.Aid cuts mean that 11% more children are expected to be severely malnourished than in the previous year, Save the Children said.

I think we talked to him about it before there was a script or anything.”

“It seemed like it had already happened,” adds Anderson. “And it was a very good fit, a natural thing.”Cera quickly adapted to Anderson’s unique style of moviemaking, in which the cast collectively stay at a hotel, begin the morning in makeup together and remain on set without trailers to retreat to. “At first, you’re kind of exhausted,” says Cera. “At the end of the first day, you go: OK, I need to eat a bigger breakfast.” As the production went along, Cera often sat right next to Anderson to watch him work.

One very notable characteristic of Bjørn is a Norwegian accent. If there’s anything more fitting than Michael Cera being a Wes Anderson movie, it might be Michael Cera doing a Norwegian accent in a Wes Anderson movie. It’s also a bit that, in “The Phoenician Scheme,” has a touch of spoiler to it. Cera calls it “sort of a jaunty, playful representation of an accent, not purporting to be a home run.”“When I brought up the accent to Wes, I said, ‘How should we go about this accent?’” Cera say. “He was kind of caught of guard. I think he hears the movie in his head and maybe hadn’t figured that in. It was something Wes had to compute.”
