"We walked for eight days to reach here." - Shamsa, Somali refugee in Kenya
UNHCR is providing displaced families with relief items, emergency shelter and clean water.
After losing majority of their livestock in the drought, Diyaro and her eight children left their home in Somalia and fled to Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya.
"I lost the only source of livelihood I had to the drought," says Diyaro. "But I am glad that I haven't lost my children to hunger."
Please donate now and help UNHCR provide critical aid to vulnerable families affected by drought.
