Allarme Nazioni Unite per la siccità in Etiopia
“I must say that I visited many refugee camps in the world. I have never seen people coming in such a desperate situation,” the head of the U.N. refugee agency, Antonio Guterres, said Sunday after seeing new arrivals in Dadaab.
Faduma Sakow Abdullahi, a Somali mother, said her husband died after drinking contaminated water, and that two children died on the way to Dadaab from hunger and exhaustion. Others in need begged for help but she had none to give. “My journey was like a trip to hell. I have seen and experienced a lot of sufferings on my way to Kenya,” Abdullahi said, tears rolling down her cheeks. “I reached a stage in which I didn’t care about whether I die or live.”
