Hobyo which locates in the Eastern coast of Mudug region, top United Nations humanitarian officials heard first-hand of the dire conditions that local communities of internally displaced people (IDPs) are enduring amid the severe drought affecting the country as the risk of famine in Somalia grows. 1.4 million malnourished children – 330,000 of who are at risk of dying by the end of this summer “It is really heart-wrenching, especially seeing that there are so many children in these IDP camps. This is just devastating, we should redouble our effort to bring this to the attention of the international community and those who could afford to assist. The objective of the intervention is to assist the drought affected population by providing food packages (Rice, Floor, Sugar,Edible oil & Dates) and safe drinking water for two months to reduce their sufferings and save their lives.
