U.N. Appeals for Aid to Help Somalia

NAIROBI, Kenya - The United Nations appealed Tuesday for nearly $327 million in aid to help starving people in southern Somalia, which is suffering its worst drought in a decade.
About 2.1 million people are coping with severe food shortages caused by prolonged drought, war, displacement, flooding and human rights abuses, said the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
"This current drought is unprecedented in 10 years, and the impact it is having on food, water, health, education and livelihoods is alarming," said Christian Balslev-Olesen, the world body's acting humanitarian coordinator for Somalia.
"With a rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation, the humanitarian community needs to scale up its current response exponentially."

Think I'll flush my spare bucks down a toilet, Mr. Humanitarian Coordinator. It'll do about as much good as sending it to the UN to solve what ails Somalia.
