Somalia's famine: how long-running problems make food scarce

BBC OS

Available for over a year

Four years of failed rains in Somalia mean that people in parts of the country are now without enough food. Families are leaving famine-struck areas, many heading for camps in the capital Mogadishu. Mohammud Ali from the BBC's Somali service says that wealthier Somalis realise a humanitarian solution 'begins with them'. (Photo: a camp for internally displaced people, Mogadishu, 2015.
