Somali Refugee Crisis in Dadaab

Widespread malnutrition among Somali refugees requires immediate action.

In Mogadishu, fighting, terrorist attacks and indiscriminate shelling are causing death and destruction, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee the city. The Transitional Federal Government is unable to impose the stability needed to improve the situation.This situation has caused an influx of refugees to Dadaab refugee camp that LWF urgently seeks for an urgent appeal to alleviate the human suffering at the Camps

It’s a harrowing human drama growing more urgent by the day. Hundreds of thousands of lives are at stake, among them tens of thousands of children in immediate danger of starving to death. As the world’s attention swings between chaotic swoops and loops in global financial markets and rampaging looters stomping a glass-shard-strewn swathe through the UK’s high streets, an epic humanitarian emergency is struggling for attention. Now, Foreign Correspondent shines a light on the famine in - and tragic exodus out of - Somalia. You can help.
