BBC News - UNHCR in Somalia 'human tragedy' warning

BBC News - UNHCR in Somalia 'human tragedy' warning: "The levels of malnutrition among children fleeing Somalia's drought could lead to a 'human tragedy of unimaginable proportions', the UN refugee head Antonio Guterres has said.

Young children are dying on their way to or within a day of arrival at camps in Ethiopia and Kenya, the UNHCR says.

It estimates that a quarter of Somalis are either displaced within the country or living outside as refugees."
