As a result of the worst drought in 60 years, regional conflicts, and conflict within states, a
humanitarian emergency of massive proportion has unfolded over the past year in the Horn of
Africa region. Current estimates suggest that more than 13.3 million people are currently affected,
250,000 of whom need food assistance in the near term to avoid death. Somalia has been hardest
hit so far, creating population displacement within its borders and a refugee crisis of nearly 1
million people in the region, primarily in Kenya and Ethiopia.
