WFP expands relief work in famin

In this photo of Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2011, three-year-old Ibrahim Abukar Abdi is fed through a nasal tube at Somalia's Banadir hospital in Mogadishu. Doctors say he is suffering from severe malnutrition and measles. His mother says there is no aid reaching the area she lives, 50 kilometers from the Somali capital of Mogadishu. The United Nations estimates that tens of thousands of people have died from malnutrition in Somalia in recent months, and over 11 million people across East Africa need food aid because of a long-running drought. (AP Photo/Katharine Houreld)AP - The World Food Program said Saturday that it is expanding food distribution efforts in famine-ravaged Somalia, where the U.N. has estimated that only 20 percent of people needing aid are able to receive it because an al-Qaida-linked group controls large portions of the country.
