Update on the Relief Effort

SOMALIA, Mogadishu: In a handout photograph provided by the African Union-United Nations Information Support Team, a woman holds her malnourished baby 20 July, in Badbaado, a new camp established by the Transitional Federal Government for internally displaced people in the country's capital Mogadishu, who have been affected by the worsening drought in Somalia. African Union High Representative for Somalia Jerry Rawlings today implored for an urgent and significant response from the international community to the drought and now famine in the wider Horn of Africa region, which has been declared by the United Nations in two areas of southern Somalia.
