I am in Kenya to visit communities and schools built by Free the Children. With UNICEF I will be returning to Dadaab, the biggest refugee camp in the world - see my blog on Dadaab below. In search of food and water desperate families walk 50-90 miles-25 days- through sand storms and across parched land, from Mogadishu and beyond. Many, especially the children, die along the way. People are calling the route from Mogadishu to the camp, "the road of death'. Nearly half of the people in Somalia - 3.7 million - are now facing what aid workers call the 'worst food crisis since the 1980's famine in Ethiopia'- in which one million people starved to death.
