SOMALIA FAMINE KILLED NEARLY 260,000, HALF OF THEM CHILDREN – REPORTS
UNNew York, May 2 2013 5:00PMMore than a quarter of a million people
died in the famine in Somalia between October 2010 and April 2012, in
part because the international community did not act quickly enough,
the top United Nations humanitarian official in the country said
today.

"The suffering played out like a drama without witnesses,"
<"http://www.faosomalia.org/news/111-study-suggests-258000-somalis-died-due-to-severe-food-insecurity-and-famine">said
Philippe Lazzarini, UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, reacting
to the findings in a new report funded and commissioned the UN Food
and Agricultural Organization (FAO).

Some 133,000 of the Somalis who perished – about half – were children
under five, according to FAO's Food Security and Nutrition Analysis
Unit for Somalia (FSNAU), which carried out the study along with the
USAID-funded Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET).

Calling the magnitude of the mortality figures "unsettling", Mr.
Lazzarini said the report confirms "that we could have done more
before famine was declared on 20 July 2011" and that it will help
ensure "that Somalia never goes through another famine again."

He added that "warnings that began as far back as the drought in 2010
did not trigger sufficient early action. In the worst affected areas,
access to people in need was tremendously difficult.

At the peak of the crises, between May and August 2011, about 30,000
excess people died per month, according to the study.

"An estimated 4.6 per cent of the total population and 10 per cent of
children under 5 died in Southern and Central Somalia," FAO reported.
"Lower Shabelle, Mogadishu, and Bay were hardest hit."

A massive mobilization of the humanitarian community helped mitigate
the worst effects of the crisis, once famine was declared, the
Humanitarian Coordinator continued. "We reached previously
inaccessible areas through innovative programming and by strengthening
local partnerships."

Since then, the UN community and its partners have changed the way it
operates, Mr. Lazzarini said, "With 2.7 million people still in need
of life-saving assistance and support to build up their livelihoods,
we are redoubling efforts to invest in Somalia's people and
communities to break the cycle of crisis and response."

"We are seeking ways to bridge humanitarian and development work which
will be crucial to consolidating the resilience of Somalia's people
and communities," he added.May 2 2013 5:00PM
