Children in Somalia are suffering some of the highest malnutrition rates in the world, says the United Nations as drought continues to affect the country.About two and a half million people have been affected and there has been complete crop faliure in sounthern Somalia that has caused many to lose thier livelihoods.
"One in four children is malnourished - that's one of the highest rates in the world," says Grainne Moloniy of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.
The rains have either failed or have been inadequate for several seasons, fields are parched, and livestock - the mainstay of the economy - are dying.
