RED CROSS ASKED TO LEAVE SOMALIA, BUT DOES NOT GIVE UP

The islamistic al-Shabaab militsia has asked Red Cross to leave Somalia.

This means that 1.1 million malnourished people are at risk of starving to death. So the general-secretary of Danish Red Cross, Anders Ladekarl, says to DR News.

This means that the children and adults who are 100 percent dependent on our supplies will get no food!!

This also means that the 2 big hospitals run by us in Mogadishu will not get supplies - and that the many clinics for malnourished children and their mothers do not get medicine or food. This will have grave consequences, says Anders Ladekarl.

^ That's really awful. I don't understand why they're being forced to leave...

nancyk58 · 02-02-2012, 08:58 AM

^I am afraid that the al-Shabaab militsia might want to starve the population. Maybe the militsia has some food for them provided that the young boys and men join the militsia. Join and you and your family can get food - OR you will starve to death.

Very sad situation, indeed!

AID AGENCIES WARN OF FAMINE IN WEST AFRICA

In some Westafrican countries a big famine is threatening. Aid agencies warn that by this summer 15 million people are without water and food. In particular babys, small children and old people are affected.

The World Food Programme needs about 550 million Euro to prevent famine. So far only half this amount har been pledged.

The crisis is caused by shortage of rain, too high grain prices and political unrest.
