Thousands of deaths caused by starvation in Somalia

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N., or "FAO", asked for an additional 120 million dollars in aid for Northeastern Africa, 70 million to be sent to Somalia and 50 million to Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti and Uganada. The U.N. agency of refugees states that close to 40% of Somalia's children who reach Dadaab suffer from malnutrition. During the first four months of this year, more children died here than in the entire previous year. http://multimedia.telesurtv.net/en/20/7/2011/42662/thousands-of-deaths-caused-by-starvation-in-somalia/

Kenya - UN appeals for aid amid 'catastrophic' Horn of Africa drought

Kenya - REPORT - Gripped by the worst drought for sixty years, people across the Horn of Africa face starvation. The United Nations estimates that twelve million people are at risk of starving to death, mainly in Somalia, but also in Ethiopia and Kenya, as the international community struggles to plug a funding shortfall. UN Secretary General Ban ki-Moon has stated that 1.6 billion dollars of donations are required over the next 12 months, to tackle the crisis. Our reporters Duncan Woodside and Stephanie Braquehais visited Moyale District, in northern Kenya, close to the Ethiopian border. In the village of Funanqumbi, it has barely rained for two years. They found a once-proud cattle-herding community that is now entirely dependent on international aid. FRANCE 24 INTERNATIONAL NEWS 24/7 http://www.france24.com
