In Somalia, the United Nations is warning a worsening drought risks plunging millions of Somalis into famine. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres made the warning during a visit to Mogadishu.

Secretary-General António Guterres: “We have 6.2 million people in need of humanitarian assistance in Somalia. That’s almost half of the Somali population. We have 333,000 children that are acutely malnourished, and the risk to go up to a million if there is not enough support to avoid it.”

Guterres is appealing for more than $800 million in emergency aid for Somalia.
