Dear all,
the reports and pictures of the effects of famine in the horn of africa are heart wrenching. People both young and old are dying in hundreds while trying to walk from war-torn somalia to refugee camps in kenya. Is there anyone or any organisation of disabled people who can let the humanitarian agencies and the rest of the world know what is happening to disabled people. What is obvious is that the problems disabled people there are facing is unimaginable. They certainly cannot walk the long distances to camps to get relief food and medicines. So, they most likely die in their homes. Could we please do something to urge humanitarian agencies to help these people.
Very best wishes
kudzai shava
