United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has arrived in Somalia on an emergency visit aimed at drumming up support for an effort to avert a famine that could affect over six million people. Guterres said the world must act now. Somalia's newly-elected President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed met with the UN Chief today. Mohamed said his first priority is to address this drought crisis and his main priority is to make an appeal to the international community to help them. <br/><br/>The World Health Organization has warned that there are just two months left to avert what would be Somalia's third famine in 25 years. The last one, in 2011, killed over two lakh people. The UN said yesterday that the situation has become significantly worse in the last six months. Last week, the government declared a national disaster as the drought continued to ravage the country. According to the WHO, more than three lakh acutely malnourished children and seven thousand severely malnourished children are in need of urgent, life-saving support. <br/><br/>The Horn of Africa nation is one of three countries – along with Yemen and Nigeria – that aid agencies say are on the verge of famine. A famine was declared in South Sudan last month.
