Drought Continues throughout Somalia

In Solmalia's Bay Region there has been a below-normal rain causes a major drought that the U.N has announced reached its threshold. It has escalated to a point where the regions livestock have minimal grazing opportunities triggering a series of issues. Without proper food for their animals they can no longer rely on milk for a major aspect of their diet, on top of that the starving animals have altered their migration routes causing loss of their livestock. This issue has put 750,000 Somalian pastoralists at the risk of death within the next 4 months. Assistance is being asked from numerous countries including the United States, China, and Africa. The World Bank and U.N officials are also sitting in on the issue although the process of giving and recieving money is a long teditous process. Droughts are occuring throughout the world and affecting some places more drastically than others. Third World countries such as Somalia already have humanitarian problems that are affecting approximatly 4 million people. When you add drought like conditions to an already unstable community the problems like we see here can be catastrophic.
