A tragedy of epic proportions is unfolding in the Horn of Africa, where hundreds of thousands of children are facing death due to starvation. The disastrous combination of a paralyzing drought, skyrocketing food prices and conflict has left over 11 million people battling hunger to survive. The United Nations has declared famine in two regions of southern Somalia - southern Bakool and Lower Shabelle - and warned that if immediate action is not taken, famine could spread to all eight southern regions in two months. UNICEF estimates that 1.85 million are in dire need of urgent aid. In some regions one in every three children is severely malnourished, their lives at risk. Across the semi-arid and arid areas of Kenya, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Somalia... thousands of people have been trekking for days in search of food and water, awaiting assistance that could mean the difference between life and death. In Somalia, a country where decades of war and instability has already pushed the most marginalized and vulnerable to the brink... the suffering seems unending. Driven from their homes into neighbouring countries... tens of thousands of Somalis arrive daily at places such as Dadaab in North-Eastern Kenya (the world's largest refugee camp) providing shelter to more than 383,000 people. In Ethiopia... the severe drought has resulted in high levels of malnutrition among children in affected districts like Fedis, with an estimated 312,740 children who are severely malnourished and require urgent life-saving treatment. According to Lemlem Worku (one of two health extension workers assigned to the Belina Arba health post, who has been working in Fedis District for the past four years)... "Malnutrition here has never been as bad as this year !" Currently, there are 41 severely malnourished children receiving treatment at the Belina Arba Health Post - three times more than at the same time last year. In order to step up operations, and reach the most vulnerable children in the Horn of Africa... UNICEF estimates it will need USD$100 million over the next six months. UNICEF is using every means possible to reach every child. There simply can be no compromise on the objective to keep children and their families alive. Every life must count... and we cannot afford to lose more lives to this crisis !
