Crisis in Somalia

Hi, I just wanted as many people as possible to read this, there is a huge crisis going on in Somalia right now. Well, there have been horrible things happening there for a very long time, but it's reached a peak. the southern part of the country is controlled by Al Shabab, an Islamist insurgent group, and they are making what is already a bad situation worse. there is famine and drought in the country and Al Shabab is preventing dying and sick people from leaving the country in order to receive help as refugees in neighboring countries. it's a very dire situation. you can read more about it in this article:

Somalis Waste Away as Insurgents Block Escape From Famine


and you can donate to any organizations listed here:

How to Help Victims of the East Africa famine


I wish I could help more, but we also know that as believers our prayers are heard by the Creator of the universe, whose heart breaks for the people in eastern Africa. please give this situation a few minutes of your time.
