Aid workers continue to report high numbers of deaths in the famine gripping the Horn of Africa. At one camp in Ethiopia, a spokesperson for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said 10 children are dying each day.

Adrian Edwards: “An assessment of mortality in one of four refugee camps at the Dollo Ado complex in Ethiopia has found that death rates have reached alarming levels. Since the Kobe refugee camp opened in June, an average of 10 children under the age of five have been dying each day. An outbreak of suspected measles, combined with high rates of acute malnutrition, is thought to be the major cause of death.”
