Title (Dublin Core): Ethiopia. Sharp rise in Somali arrivals as drought and insecurity worsens
Description (Dublin Core): A woman and three children, Somali refugees, are pictured in the grounds of a World Vision school being used as a temporary shelter in Bur Amino, Ethiopia.; Worsening drought, and violence from armed extremist group al Shabaab, has caused more than 5,000 Somalis to seek refuge in Ethiopia so far this year – four times the number that crossed the border in 2018. The extremists have struck fear into the hearts of many and the climate emergency has fuelled a cycle of vulnerability for pastoralists and farmers. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, more than 2 million people are at risk of severe hunger as Somalia faces its worst harvest since the 2011 famine that internally displaced 1.5 million people. With al Shabaab extorting money, forcing residents to grow crops that fail and forcibly recruiting child soldiers, families increasingly have no choice but to flee.; UNHCR
