Somali refugees struggle during Ramadan as drought drives further need
Zainab Mohammed, 38, a Somali refugee mother of five, who fled starvation in her homeland Somalia to Dadaab camp in Kenya, stares at her kitchen at Iftar, the time for breaking fast during Ramadan, hoping somehow she will get food to feed her children. But there is nothing. They may go to sleep again with hungry stomachs. Zainab is among more than 1 million Somalis who have fled their homes in search of help while an estimated 43,000 people died last year alone as a result of the ongoing drought.
