The famine in Somalia is one of the most serious famines that the world has experienced in recent years. Over 750,000 people are in danger of dying of hunger, that’s more than twice the people in the New Orleans area- there are only 343, 829 people living in New Orleans. Early warning signs of the famine were available, but because Somalia is a failed state not much could be done. The Somalian government was not strong enough to prevent the famine—they were too busy with internal conflict and won’t allow western aid.
