Edward Moyo: Somali Refugees

edward moyo: Now huddled in five sprawling camps in Ethiopia, the refugees face ration cuts in the coming months unless more international support arrives, according to CTV. Their plight is often overlooked in a region where hunger and conflict in Somalia and South Sudan put millions at risk. But the problems for more than 200,000 Somali refugees are far from over. The projection we have is that our already reduced aid handout for these Somali refugees is sustainable only up to March 2018, Edward Moyo with the World Food Program told The Associated Press during a visit to one of the camps. And yet the number of new arrivals from Somalia continues to grow, at a rate of as high as 1,000 a day. How are we going to explain to a pregnant mother who has a number of other children that we are going to cut her ration beyond what she's already going through In nutrition centres across the camp that is home to nearly 40,000 refugees, health workers say they are seeing a growing number of Somali children with malnutrition.
