| Famine in Somalia |
Somalia has been hit by the worst famine in the last 20 years. Famine in Somalia was declared by the United Nations in late July 2011. According to reports drought and famine has already kill more that 30000 children under the age of 5 in the last 90 days. Approximately 11.5 million people have been affected in this region by the drought. Two regions in southern Somalia claims a malnutrition rate of 50 percent and less. 10,000 humans dying each day of hunger and malnutrition. U.N. states that 640,000 children in Somalia are actually malnourished, further suggesting that the death toll of small children will rise in the days to come. With the 270-percent inflation rate in the country it has made it financially impossible for companies to import food and medicine. Here are some very sorry photos of a place in the world where we live and call our self's humans but are unable to help a child who is dying every hour every kilometer away.
