Aid agencies say Somalians facing human catastrophe

DROUGHT-HIT Somalia is stretching the work of relief workers to their limits and is facing a fully-fledged humanitarian catastrophe, aid agencies have warned.

“We are no longer talking about a humanitarian crisis or a humanitarian emergency,” said Jens Oppermann, the country director of Action Against Hunger (Action Contre La Faim, ACF).

“We are seeing this as a humanitarian catastrophe,” he said.
