Food shortage looms over Somalia

Somalia's drought is worsening and the tense security situation is hindering aid operations in the country.

But al Shabab fighters, with links to Al-Qaeda, have reportedly been trying to bolster support by offering help to those in need as an alternative to western aid which they claim is a propaganda tool.

While lack of food for the next few months is expected to be a major problem, after two decades of war Somalis are no stranger to adversity.
