Somalia is in the grip of an intense drought, induced by consecutive seasons of poor rainfall. The country is on the brink of a famine, just six years after another famine led to the loss of a quarter of a million lives. In the worst-affected areas, inadequate rainfall and lack of water have wiped out crops and killed livestock, leaving half the population (6.2 million people) in need of humanitarian assistance. Nearly 3 million of these people cannot meet their daily food requirements. Over a quarter of a million people fled their homes between November 2016 and the end of February 2017. More than 11,000 cases of acute watery diarrhea (AWD)/cholera have been reported, including 268 related deaths, as drought conditions worsen across the country. (Photo by Giles Clarke/Getty Images)
