- Yesterday Doctors Without Borders faxed me their new report, headed
- EMERGENCY IN THE THE HORN OF AFRICA--THE COUNTDOWN TO DEATH BEGINS.
-
- They call the emergency unprecedented and their second paragraph reads:
-
- Our worst fears have com true: the Somalian people is dying. Since 1991
- all aid organizations involved in Somalia have been asking for more
- help to avoid the tragedy. Now the countdown to death has started.

- A friend told me she heard on the radio recently a report from a feeding
- center, describing how the children were given their cup of broth, but
- were so weak from hunger, it just came right out the other end. They
- were too weak to make it to the latrines.

- Please see next post.
