Mogadishu (HOL) — Jinay Isaaq Hassan has spent her life in the small village of Mintaanyo, tending her six-hectare farm and raising her children. But earlier this year, everything changed. The rains that should have come never arrived, and her crops—sorghum, sesame, tomatoes, maize, and beans—withered in the scorching sun. Now, Jinay and her 11 orphaned children are among 120 families who have fled to the outskirts of Baidoa, desperate for survival.
