Famine in the Horn of Africa:
As you may have heard, more than 11 million people in Somalia and parts of Kenya and Ethiopia require assistance. Due to the drought, they have walked miles to relocate to refugee camps that no longer have shelter. Nearly half of the Somali population, 3.7 million people, are now in crisis. In the past 90 days, 29,000 children under the age of 5 have died.
