Starving, exhausted, dying

AT the largest refugee camp in the world, Dadaab, in north-eastern Kenya, children are dying within 24 hours of arrival, despite receiving emergency treatment and care.

Overcome by hunger and exhaustion, the United Nations said that an unknown number of children under the age of five are dying.

The camp, built to house 90,000 but now home to more than four times that number, was already well over capacity before a recent influx of 30,000 refugees. The situation is so chaotic that many go without food aid for days, even weeks.
