Drought emergency hits Somalia

Click for more global actions one person can take
"Hundreds of thousands of people in drought-hit areas of Somalia are facing dehydration, with some having to drink their own urine as chronic water shortages persist, aid agency Oxfam International said on Thursday.

"'The situation is as bad as I can remember. Some people are dying and children are drinking their own urine because there is simply no water for them to drink,' Oxfam quoted Abdullahi Maalim Hussein, an elder who accompanied the organisation on its recent mission to the affected areas, as saying."
