華府不想見死不救，但又擔心西方大部分援助會被索馬里回教極端勢力吞佔，美國的進退失據，是西方無力平息索馬里亂局的寫照。非洲開發銀行總裁貝魯卡認為，要打擊索馬里海盜，與其在印度洋用兵，還不及採取地面行動來得直接，同樣道理，要有效緩和索馬里糧食短缺問題，就不得不在維和方面入手。, B6 U: @0 n$ u m% V7 {2 e, ^6 {

The problem when a child is dying from starvation is that they can't wait. They can't put their hunger on pause until the glare of the media decides to turn its spotlight on them and help spread the word that children are dying.Instead, they will slowly starve to death. ) _* M/ `" J; z9 r! ^tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb公仔箱論壇9 d8 K% g& a5 {, ~& E+ [) X% s- f1 }
This is exactly what is happening to nearly 2 million children in Somalia right now. Nearly half of these children are already on the critical list, inching further away from life as every hour slips by. By the time you read this, it may already be too late for some. !

In today's newspapers – from front to back – I was hoping to see the media use their power and influence to tell this story. I hoped to see headlines shouting that millions of women and children in Somalia, and across the entire Horn of Africa, are struggling for survival and need the British public to help.( u( T1 d5 ^, Y

But I didn't. Instead, my eyes were blurred with articles of shaving foam and hacking scandals, as talk about the dire need for nutritional supplies for children who need their lives saved slipped into the footnotes. 1 @9 u+ \$ E# ?: }8 t ! \+ Q0 u- ^7 u p1 t2 M& Ntvb now,tvbnow,bttvbAnd now, the situation has reached crisis point.

At Unicef, which is the UN's children's agency, they don't use the word famine lightly. 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. ! s% C; m) ]4 N' o, ]/ [tvb now,tvbnow,bttvbTVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。2 Y# O7 Z% t$ x3 N
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. 3 R% b& Z& y: F4 [( w0 b! l+ { / q; @) Q3 f6 J1 m9 oTVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。I've been to Ethiopia with Unicef last year into some of the same regions that are today the focus of the wider Horn of Africa appeal. The famine, the first is 20 years, is due to a number of factors such as poverty, inadequate rainfall and conflict.0 r! R) V7 X3 S. h% U9 e N: H

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.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb& @" |7 \: O$ H. j* z

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." 8 m4 a' R3 P2 [* X; Y; jtvb now,tvbnow,bttvb3 P0 S; F4 u9 h! o7 c! P, T
Being a child in Somalia is already tough and dangerous. If you survive to one, you may not survive beyond five; if you live beyond five, you most probably won't go to school and you most probably won't have many choices but being recruited into an armed faction. # a3 G/ C2 n1 [0 [8 C!
