Somali Malnourished Child Taken for Emergency Treatment
Somali men carry a severely malnourished child to the headquarters of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) for emergency medical treatment. AMISOM is an active regional peacekeeping mission operated by the African Union with the approval of the United Nations. Somalia is affected by a severe drought that has ravaged large swaths of the Horn of Africa, leaving an estimated 11 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.
