The problem when a child is dying from starvation is that they can't wait.

They are guided by strict criteria that means it can only be declared when at least three of eight prerequisites are reached. These are acute malnutrition rates among children must exceed 30%; more than two people per10,000 die daily; and food access falls far below 2,100 kilocalories of food every day.

E( x3 h$ ?% h2 S7 q; vThis famine didn't happen suddenly. It has been slowly evolving but under reported.Unicef, along with the UN, has been warning since January of a pending crisis and statements have been issued. 2011 has been a year filled with natural disasters and social upheaval in north Africa that have all been competing for news attention. Since drought is a slow-onset disaster, it is often very difficult to get the type of attention and response that is needed to raise the funds to prevent this disaster. In addition, issues of access and conflict have made the situation even more complicated.4 x3 `6 a p& e0 x

The media also have a major role in the response to disasters. As former BBC producer Suzanne Franks pointedly wrote in the British Journalism Review:"Disasters – natural or man-made – exist only when they are covered by the media. Plenty of terrible things happen that remain unreported. Most disasters are known about only by those directly affected. And the crises that do get media attention are not necessarily those that kill or harm the most victims."( `5 f9 n2 J" b# c

联合国宣布,将出现在索马里部分地区由干旱造成的严重局面归属为饥荒。联合国对饥荒的定义是,有超过30%的儿童营养不良,并且每天在万人中有两人死于粮食短缺。而造成这种情况的,不仅有天灾,还有人祸。9 E/ c7 }$ P0 z* R; |4 s$ Q6 G; h

"索马里东部的情况非常糟糕,而且让人捉摸不透。对于我们来说,到那里去是非常危险的。反叛武装四处为武力创造气氛。而此地又正在遭受空前严重的干旱。所以,像小米这样对索马里来说非常重要的粮食的价格已经在短时间内翻了一倍。那里的人们别无选择。"说这番话的是世界粮食计划署柏林办事处主任聚德霍夫(Ralf Südhoff)。不仅仅是干旱,而且还有当地不断泛滥的武力冲突使得外界的援助物资无法到达当地。那里的人们由此被孤立了起来,因为从学术研究的角度上来讲,索马里是一个失败的国家(failed state)。那里没有政府,德国发展援助政策研究说的农业专家布伦特鲁普(Michael Brüntrup)介绍说。这也是饥荒的一个特征。 ( G* E6 a! c$ w5 H5.39.217.765.39.217.76+ w# ~, [ p% _3 S- O
