The United Nations food agency is hosting emergency talks in Rome today on the drought crisis in the Horn of Africa. More than 10 million people are thought to be at risk of starvation. The UN has already declared famine in two areas of southern Somalia. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has urged donor countries to supply an extra 1.6 billion US dollars in aid. Earlier the Red Cross said it delivered food to one of Somalia's worst-hit areas, controlled by Islamists. Working through a local committee, the Red Cross delivered lorry-loads of food for 24,000 people.
