(4 years ago)The drought has engulfed the African state of Somalia. Somemales are experiencing one of the worst periods in recent decades, millions of them are suffering hunger, and many of them are being forced to leave their homes in search of food and water, reports the Association of Children. Estimates [...]
The estimates of international foreign organisations that monitored more than 12,000 citizens in Somalia on Thursday showed that most Somali families lack food on daily grounds, and more than a third of households declared that at least one family member remains without food in 24 hours.
As a result of drying, some 700,000 camels, sheep, and sheep have died in two months, according to findings made in November of last year, writes Al Jazeera, after Periscope.
By 2011, the United Nations had declared a state of emergency hunger, with 3.7 million people lacking sufficient food to eat. And this year, recent projections regarding food insurance suggest that during the February-May period 4.6 million Somalis will face a severe lack of food.
On the other hand, the Association of Children has asked the country's government to prioritize humanitarian issues and not to interfere with humanitarian aid to affected families and children.
