Somalia famine spreads 'beyond reach of aid'
Famine has spread to a sixth area of Somalia and tens of thousands of people have died as a result of severe food shortages, the United Nations has said. More than half of Somalia's entire population faces a severe food shortage, and the world body has now officially extended the famine zone. In Mogadishu, there are now half a million refugees and there are warnings from the UN that the famine could spread to the entire south of the country by the end of the year. The UN says it needs at least $1bn, but one leading charity says the public is being mislead into believing that money can solve the crisis. Medicine Sans Frontiere, Doctors Without Borders, wants international aid agencies to admit that reaching some of the worst affected victims of famine may not be possible. The French-based charity has criticised aid agencies and parts of the media for glossing over the realities of the situation. The World Food Programme, which is providing most of Somalia's food, says lives can be saved, but admits there are millions of people it cannot reach. Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri reports from Mogadishu.

Somalia famine summit postponed
An African Union meeting on the famine in Somalia has been delayed for two weeks. The emergency summit was scheduled for August 9, but officials said this left insufficient time for all heads of state to gather. The famine, however, is spreading. The UN declared three new regions in Somalia "famine zones" on Wednesday, expanding the area where the highest rates of malnutrition and mortality are taking place, including the refugee camps in the capital, Mogadishu. The UN's food arm, FAO, said the famine is likely to spread across all regions of Somalia's south in the next four to six weeks. Famine conditions are likely to persist until December, FAO said. Half a million children are on the brink of starvation, with at least two of the famine zones under the control of al-Shabab, an opposition group regarded by US security agencies as linked to al-Qaeda. The UN says that about two million people in these regions cannot be reached and there are claims that large numbers of them are being held against their will.

Somalia refugees at risk if talks are not inclusive: analyst
Somali leaders have begun gathering for a three-day national reconciliation conference under UN auspices amid high security in war-shattered Mogadishu. But talks that don't involve plans for a political solution in country will continue to put the hundred of thousands of refugees at greater risk, no matter how much money is pledged says Nuradin Dirie, an independent analyst specialising in the Horn of Africa.

UN continues relief in Somalia
The UN says it will not decrease aid to Somalia despite reports of food aid being stolen. The UN acknowledged on Monday that it has been investigating food theft in Somalia for two months. Reports indicate that gangs have been stealing aid from starving refugees, and selling it off for cash. The reports of theft of aid could reduce the flow of much-needed aid into the country.

Magnitude of crisis hinders Somalia relief efforts
Somalia's government says it is making every effort to help refugees pouring into Mogadishu to escape the drought enveloping East Africa. The UN's Children's Fund began airlifting emergency supplies on Friday. But it will not reach all those in need just yet. The UN's World Food Programme says it will not get into southern Somalia - the most affected region as yet due to the large scale, affecting "a million people", of the crisis and the large amount of organisation that this operation demands. "We are literally on the discussion stage," said David Orr from the World Food Programme. Numerous appeals have been made to help the people of Somalia and the Horn of Africa in general. Some countries have made pledges to the UN but faced with hard economic times, many others may not be willing to commit anything at all. Al Jazeera's Catherine Soi reports from Nairobi.

UN to airlift food to African famine zone
The United Nations has agreed to airlift food to help some of the 12 million people affected by drought in the Horn of Africa. Aid agencies say one in three Somalis is now at risk from famine. The move follows Monday's emergency meeting with aid agencies and charities in Rome. The UN says it's so far received $1bn, but needs the international community to donate a billion more by the end of the year to stave off widespread starvation. The World Bank has promised 500-million-dollars for the region. However, $12m will be immediately released for relief projects for those worst hit by the drought. Al Jazeera's Jamal ElShayyal reports on the crisis.

Weather conditions over the Pacific have interrupted seasonal rains for two consecutive seasons. Rains are not expected to return until September 2011. This drought, which is said to be 'the worst in 60 years', has caused a food crisis in the Horn of Africa that threatens the livelihood of more than 10 million people. The crisis is compounded by rebel activity around southern Somalia. The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS-Net) declared an emergency for large areas in southern Somalia, southeastern Ethiopia, and northeastern Kenya, which could culminate in widespread famine if the current conditions aren't addressed. Other countries in and around the Horn of Africa, including Djibouti, Sudan, South Sudan, and parts of Uganda are also affected by a severe food crisis. - Like/Dislike, Comment, Favorite and share on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ to get the word out on this video.

Somalis flee to Kenya in search for food
Somali refugees have become the victims of the worst drought to hit the Horn of Africa in nearly sixty years. Faced with starvation and caught in conflict, thousands of Somalis are fleeing their country and heading for Kenya. They have traveled through harsh conditions with little food or water, and no humanitarian assistance. Many head across the border to northern Kenya into Dadaab refugee camp expecting help. But drought has hit almost every country in the Horn of Africa. Somalis have been fleeing from war for years now, but this is a different kind of exodus. The refugees are forced to leave their land because they risk dying of starvation at home. Nazanine Moshiri reports from Dobley, Somalia.

Somali armed group lifts aid ban amid drought
The Somali group, al-Shabab, says it has lifted a ban on aid agencies operating in the parts of the country it controls. Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage, an al-Shabab spokesperson said, "We have now decided to welcome all Muslim and non-Muslim aid agencies to assist the drought-stricken Somalis in our areas..." In some areas, one out of every three children is malnourished, in one of the region's worst droughts in 60 years. The UN says close to three million people in Somalia need emergency aid. Al-Shabab, which is said to be connected to al-Qaida networks in Africa and the Gulf, controls the majority of Somalia, including almost half of the capital, Mogadishu. In the past, they have said food aid creates dependency, but they have also used aid for themselves and charged foreign organisations high fees to operate. Al Jazeera's Mariana Sanchez reports.

Millions face famine in Somalia
The United Nations has declared a state of famine in some parts of southern Somalia where the worst drought in over half a century is already being blamed for thousands of deaths. An estimated 3.7 million people, or more than one-third of Somalia's population, is in need of emergency aid, the UN's food agency said on Wednesday. "Every day of delay in assistance is literally a matter of life or death for children and their families in the famine-affected areas," Mark Bowden, the UN humanitarian co-ordinator for Somalia, said. "It is likely that tens of thousands will already have died, the majority of those being children." The UN has appealed for $300m to help victims of the drought, and aid groups have criticised the slow response of many Western governments to fund the shortfall.

New armed group threatens Somali violence
A new armed group is threatening to launch a violent campaign for the reunification of Somalia. The group is known as SSC, the initials of the regions they say that they want to liberate - Sool, Sanaag and Cayn. These regions are currently disputed over by both the breakaway Somaliland Republic and the Semi-autonomous region of Puntland in North East Somalia. "Our ultimate goal is to make this area peaceful and prosperous and also seek a united Somalia," Ali Sabarey, the deputy leader of SSC, told Al Jazeera. However, Somaliland officials dismiss the SSC as ineffective, saying that their threats and claims of victory are hollow. Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow prepared this exclusive report from the SSC stronghold of Buuhoodle.
