Donne somale in coda coi loro figli malnutriti in un campo profughi a Mogadiscio

Somali women carrying their malnourished children in a refugee camp for internally displaced people in Mogadishu, Somalia, Thursday, July 28 2011.
Heavy fighting erupted Thursday in Somalia’s capital as African Union peacekeepers launched an offensive aimed at protecting famine relief efforts from attacks by al-Qaida-linked militants, officials said.
The al-Shabab militants already have killed men who tried to escape the famine with their families, saying it is better to starve than accept help from the West. The World Food Program says it cannot reach 2.2 million people in need of aid in the militant-controlled areas in southern Somalia because of insecurity.
