DROUGHT - MOGADISHU



Families who have come to Mogadishu from areas of Somalia where a prolonged drought has affected them for nearly four years queue for food guarded by an armed Transitional Federal Government soldier at a feeding point in BadBado camp for Internally Displaced People  in Mogadishu, Somalia on the 24th July, 2011. Bad Bado camp houses nearly 30,000 people and was established three weeks ago to cater for new arrivals from Somalias rural areas that have been worst hit by drought.

Whenever there is drought in other places, food, water, and sanitation are least of their concerns and there is fire extinguishers in each of the household in case fire may arise. It hadn't occurred to me that people actually experience this kind of misery. This is too heartbreaking.

I could just imagine what kind of protection these people have whenever any untoward incidents may happen to them. Indeed, this is just disheartening.
