Somalia faces worst drought in decades, leading to record number of displacements — Toronto Star
Somalia is facing the worst drought in four decades, devastating floods and more than 30 years of conflict, leading to a record number of displacements this year, with more than a million people fleeing their homes in just 130 days. This brings the total number of internally displaced people to nearly four million, which is close to a quarter of the country’s population. In desperation, some mothers are poisoning their babies with detergent and salty water to trigger illnesses and thus receive free food from health centers. This food, instead of being given to the sick child, is sold to provide for the whole family. Source
