Abstract :
Deals with famine-stricken Mogadishiu, in Somalia. The United Nations help this country
with food assistance.
Extract :
"The United Nations says food aid has been delivered to more than half of Somalia's people
in need, but food insecurity will remain a major problem into next year.
The U.N.'s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affair (OCHA) said Wednesday that
more than 2.2 million Somalis have received food assistance, mostly in the famine-stricken
south. However, the office said nearly two million others still urgently need aid.
It also said that despite a good rain forecast, "the number of people in crisis will remain high"
into 2012."
