More than half a million children in the drought-stricken Horn of Africa are at risk of imminent death from severe acute malnutrition, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has said.
UNICEF which is appealing for $300 million to deal with the crisis, says it remains committed to the plight of children and Women in Somalia.
Elhadj As Sy, the Regional Director for UNICEF in Eastern and Southern Africa, says those who are most vulnerable-the women and children have been affected most by the crisis.
// Cue in: Right now...
Cue out: ... heavy price to this problem.//
UNICEF says it has only received one third of the $300 million it has appealed for.
