Recommended Posts

A fourth consecutive failed rainy season is dragging Somalia and its 16.3 million people to the brink of famine and mass starvation. The country, which has experienced 30 years of bloody conflict, now has some 745,000 inhabitants displaced by drought, and the United Nations is warning that 350,000 children could die by the summer if nothing is done to help them. Six million people are in need of food while 81,000 are already said to be experiencing famine.
