In Somalia, the first shipment of food was delivered Wednesday to Mogadishu, the first shipment since the official declaration of a famine just over a week ago. But the U.N. said it cannot get aid to more than two million people who are unable to flee the country’s south – territories controlled by rebels linked to al Qaeda and where some of the most desperate can be found.
Many of the refugees find their way to the Dadaab camp in Kenya, the world’s largest refugee camp, housing some 380,000 people – nearly four times its intended capacity. Close to 11 million children and families are suffering from the effects of the worst drought in 60 years. Thousands are fleeing Somalia on foot, leaving behind a nation plagued by malnutrition, disease and poverty.
