Quoted: "The crisis is not over" in Horn of Africa


August 30, 2011
By The IRC

In Dadaab refugee camp, three out of five children suffer from malnutrition. Once identified, the children are rushed to the IRC's stabilization center, which is part of the IRC-run hospital in Dadaab. Here they receive food and medical care.

"The situation is still pretty grim. Somalis are still fleeing ... their animals have died, people are dying, children are really, many of them on the edge — the crisis is not over."
- NPR foreign correspondent Ofeibea Quist-Arcton, reporting from Dadaab camp in Kenya, where the International Rescue Committee runs programs to aid refugees fleeing conflict and drought in Somalia.
