<i>Famine in the Horn of Africa</i>

Deepening the already crisis hit region, this year was a terrible drought -- the worst, by some accounts, in more than 60 years. In July, the UN declared much of southern Somalia to be in a state of famine. Hundreds of thousands of starving Somalis fled to refugee camps on the Kenyan border at a rate of more than 1,000 a day. Thousands of people died in the Famine.
