World: Somali aid begins to trickle in, but honestly, they need a flood

  • ten number of tons of emergency food delivered to Somalia earlier today
  • 3,500 number of children that can be fed with the food for one month source
  • » A drop in a chaotic bucket: With millions reportedly affected by widespread famine and political factors preventing aid from getting to over 2 million people, a lot more has to be done to ensure the health and safety of many affected by the historic drought currently hitting Africa. The World Food Program estimates that as many as 11.3 people in the region need aid. Fortunately, world organizations like the European Union are starting to chip in more money.
