Fifty thousand children in Somalia could die unless they are given immediate assistance, NRCU says referring to Philippe Lazzarini, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in the Horn of Africa countries’ report.
As to report, the recent drought has worsened an already dire humanitarian situation in the country which has experienced more than two decades of insecurity.
Philippe Lazzarini said the international community needs to act now to save the children.
«We have more than one million people who are in need of urgent assistance. Among them we have 250,000 children. And among them we have 50,000 children who are on the doorstep of death, if no assistance is provided now,» he emphasized.
