The catastrophic political situation worsened the food crisis

About 258,000 Somali-half children under five years died of starvation between October 2010 and April 2012 because of a severe food crisis that resulted in six months of starvation, according to a UN report released Thursday.
The first scientific estimates estimate that died in central and southern Somalia for 4.6% of the total population-estimated at just over 10 million people-and 10% of children under five years.
In the regions of Lower Shabelle and Mogadishu, the most affected by the food crisis, the percentage of children who lost their lives amounted to 18% and 17%, respectively.
The study, conducted by FAO-UN agency for food and agriculture-and Early Warning Network Famine (Fews Net) funded by the United States other data sheds bloody: "Between May and August and 2011" the food crisis caused "about 30,000 deaths a month".
The balance is even higher than the famine that struck the country in 1992, it is presumed that killed 220,000 people in 12 months. However, the episode is considered more serious because he died a higher percentage of the population.
The famine caused by severe drought in the Horn of Africa, last year was the driest in 60 years, has affected about four million Somalis. The food crisis was exacerbated by the catastrophic situation of the country in chaos and civil war since the fall of President Siad Barre in 1991.
The recent military defeat of the Islamists shebab-the more radical and heiress of the last government that came to stabilize Somalia part of several months in 2006, deposed by rival factions and Ethiopian troops with U.S. support, and the new election in September authorities do increase the hopes of stabilizing Somalia and provide an effective central government, something lacking for 22 years.
