East Africa food crisis
International aid agency Oxfam will provide daily updates from the field on the unfolding crisis in East Africa via podcasts. These can be downloaded for use by media outlets, including websites.
New Zealander Janna Hamilton from Oxfam is in Dadaab, Kenya, where the world’s largest refugee camp houses close to 400,000 people.
Ms Hamilton will record daily podcasts that can be downloaded at the Oxfam Channel on ipadio http://www.ipadio.com/phlogs/oxfam_emergency. She is also available for interview.
In her first podcast, she reports that hundreds of thousands of Somalis are making the long, treacherous journey on foot into Dadaab, and to Ethiopia to the north.
“Families are continuing to arrive in the refugee camps with horrific stories of children dying from starvation and disease along the way. Some have walked for four weeks to get here,” she said.
