Refugees International published in August 2017 a report titled “On the Edge of Disaster: Somalis Forced to Flee Drought and Near Famine Conditions” by Mark Yarnell and Alice Thomas.

More than 800.000 Somalis have been forced to flee their homes and villages in order to reach humanitarian aid. This report details the desperate circumstances of newly displaced families who have arrived in urban areas where assistance is available.
