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.5 J9 J U5 a5 e0 S- y* t

In those most severely affected regions of Somalia – Bakool and Lower Shabelle – acute malnutrition due to poor diets or inadequate food is now exceeding 50% and Unicef is recording at least six per 10,000 children dying daily. When one does the maths, this could translate into more than 12 children dying every hour should the situation worsen. Three other regions in the south will have a famine in next one to two months they warn.5.39.217.76% r5 A2 ~2 m$ n

This 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 k6 a0 L& I
& E# D! ~' A, {, S) ?( A8 M公仔箱論壇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."tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb1 r0 T. q' s: W2 R; H$ V& u

据联合国驻索马里人道救援组织本周三(7月20日)公布的消息,现在南索马里部分地区的饥荒死亡率已经达到了每10000人中有6人死亡。那里的人们无法找到食物,饥荒总共影响到了索马里370万人口。成千上万的人已经死亡,其中大部分是儿童。公仔箱論壇+ Z3 r; l1 l2 [0 ]+ ~* u& p
联合国索马里人道援助事务协调员鲍登(Mark Bowden)强调称:"在索马里部分地区,5岁以下的儿童中的营养不良率已经达到了50%这一非常高的水平。这个受影响地区的人口已经占据了全球急性营养不良总人数的30%。这意味着,平均每三个孩子中,就有一个受到了粮食严重短缺的威胁。我们预计几乎有一半的索马里人口,也就是说370万人正受到这场危机的影响。"! o# V' L! n/ g3 D6 G5 I9 P5 f
据联合国粮农组织本周三(7月20日)在罗马发布的消息,受饥荒影响的地区范围在接下来的两个月中还会继续扩大,除了索马里以外,肯尼亚、埃塞俄比亚和吉布提的1200万人口需要紧急援助。- x9 H2 J8 ]5 N) E2 i/ a" }: ?
欧盟议会主席布泽克(Jerzy Buzek)本周三从布鲁塞尔发出呼吁,要求欧洲就此次饥荒发出统一的回应。现在时间急迫,无法落实救援就意味着更多的人将面临死亡。他同时也发出号召,从长远的角度探寻该地去贫穷落后的原因。其中有战争和冲突的因素,使得人们在自然灾害面前无所适从。 8 h5 r5 }; D* x. dtvb now,tvbnow,bttvb! M C6 a% s8 Z

"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。 ' W% d1 `; q9 K+ z. @公仔箱論壇tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb) A% b4 D, M# C: X' g

现在非洲角地区所面临的饥荒已经不是这种常见而普通的,影响全球超过10亿人的饥荒。而是一场致命的大规模饥荒。那里的人们在逃难的过程中死于饥饿,孩子们要不就是走不到达达阿布难民营,就算走到了,也有许多儿童在达到难民营的那一刻死去,因为他们已经筋疲力尽。而受到饥荒威胁的不仅仅是索马里或者埃塞俄比亚。0 O' x e" H6 W" t, [
