This year the war-torn country Somali has had the most dangerous waters in the world. There has been 26 ships attacked, including three caring food aid. Not only have they been being attacked by there has also been a serious drought continuing on land. Due to this nearly 580,000 Somalis have left their homes hoping to find safer better conditions. However, many of these people are living in very desperate conditions. They are living on the sides of roads during the rainy season without shelter, or medical help.
France has reported to continue helping for the next two months. They have shipped 3,650 tons of food from the Kenyan port of Mombasa to Merka which is 60 miles south of Mogadishu. The pirate acts has made it very difficult to reach Somalia's most vulnerable people. The attacks have also led to food being transported by road, which is a lot more expensive for those helping.
It is going to take more than just the French helping for only two more months to help the situation in Somali. These people are in desperate need during this war and drought and they are being surrounded with people making sure they aren't going to get any help.
