The World Food Programme says it expects 10 million people will be in need of food and as the worst drought in decades continues to devastate the Horn of Africa. The drought is centred in the triangle where the nations of Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia meet. It has produced a mass migration of starving citizens and created the largest refugee camps in the world. International agencies face difficulties in providing aid to those who remain in Somalia which lacks a functioning government and whose territory is dominated by the Islamist rebel group, al-Shabad.
