'Worst humanitarian disaster'

In the midst of all my CNN blogging, I came across a Winnipeg Free Press article about the severe drought affecting many African countries including Somalia. I was going to post something about it after this week, but seeing this picture this morning forced me to call attention to it today.

UN refugee chief Antonio Guterres said Sunday that drought-ridden Somalia is the 'worst humanitarian disaster' in the world, after meeting with refugees who endured unspeakable hardship to reach the world's largest refugee camp in Dadaab, Kenya."
