MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Forty local and international aid agencies warned Tuesday of an impending humanitarian catastrophe in war-ravaged Somalia if world leaders do not "urgently focus their attention" on the Horn of Africa country.
The organizations made the call in a joint statement released a day before the United Nations Security Council is to discuss Somalia.
In addition to soaring food prices, inflation and drought in large parts of Somalia, the country has more than 1 million people displaced from their homes, said the groups, which include Save the Children, World Vision, Oxfam and the International Medical Corps.
