I've never had anything like this.

The courts have never had anything like this, that's for sure.

Well, we saw people in horrific situations, families that have been displaced, seeking pasture for their animals, seeking water for themselves and food and just livelihoods, because in many cases they've lost their animals to make a living.

And, you know, people are really desperate.

Somalia is always, sadly, and has been certainly these last couple of years, a malnutrition hotspot in the world.

And we are seeing the impact on that on children across the country, but in particular in Puntland, where I was yesterday, where it is absolutely horrific.

And unfortunately, as you say, because of a lack of resources, we're having to take terrible decisions with partners like UNICEF and others

on who we can help and who we can't because we simply don't have the specialised nutrition commodities to feed under fives who desperately need that specialised food to treat their malnutrition.

Well, it's going to get to being life or death because at the moment we're not being able to provide preventative care.

We're only providing treatments.

So we can stave off the worst, but that only lasts so long.

And as you don't prevent, the caseload gets bigger and bigger.

We've already seen more than 200,000 people displaced this year.

The World Food Programme provides around 90% of the food assistance, the food aid around Somalia.

After three consecutive failed rainy seasons, the situation is dire.

And even if we are 90% of the work, we can only help one in 10 of those that we should be providing food assistance to.

I mean, clearly, all of these aspects are a recipe for disaster.

You know, reduced resources are

Increased need, not just here in Somalia, but around the world.

But, you know, particularly acute here.
