Aid reaches drought victims in Islamist area of Somalia

Published on 24 July 2011

Executive Director Josette Sheeran, who is in the area, says this is limiting the aid they can provide. "The epicentre of this famine and the drought is in Somalia," says Ms Sheeran. "We are able to reach about 1.5m people in Somalia but there is about 2.2m million that are not being able to be reached directly by humanitarian workers."
