The United Nations says about 3.6 million people are now at risk of starvation in Somalia and about 12 million people across the Horn of Africa region, including in Ethiopia and Kenya. This famine has occurred due to drought, conflict and a lack of food aid. "The famine in the Horn of Africa is spreading and may soon engulf as many as six more regions of the lawless nation of Somalia," the U.N. humanitarian aid chief said.
