she said after visit to a refugee camp in Kenya. about the issues which urgently need to be addressed by world leaders.
“The scale of poverty in Dadaab (refugee camp) is overwhelming. I met countless women like Hawa, a local community leader, who lamented the seemingly endless struggle of the Somali people, as refugees of war and starvation and now left to suffer everyday life with the very barest of essentials.
”This is a longterm and escalating crisis exacerbated by political conflict, famine and drought that can no longer be ignored. Over half the Somalis that have died are children; an entire generation lost.
“This is no longer an issue that can only garner some attention, some of the time. Extreme action must be taken by the global community now.”
