Somalia dying in world’s worst famine in 20 years
Tens of thousands of Somalis are feared dead in the world’s worst famine in a generation, the U.N. said Wednesday. The crisis is so severe that the United States is bending rules meant to prevent emergency funds from falling into the hands of al-Qaida-linked militants.

Tens of thousands in Somalia are feared dead in the world’s worst famine in a generation, the U.N. said Wednesday. The crisis is so severe that the United States is bending rules meant to prevent emergency funds from falling into the hands of al-Qaida-linked militants.
Exhausted, rail-thin women are stumbling into refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia with dead babies and bleeding feet, having left weaker family members behind along the way.
“Somalia is facing its worst food security crisis in the last 20 years,” said Mark Bowden, the U.N.’s top official in charge of humanitarian aid in Somalia. “This desperate situation requires urgent action to save lives … it’s likely that conditions will deteriorate further in six months.”
