Jolie-Pitt donate $340K to Somali aid group
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - October 8, 2011
The Horn of Africa nation has been suffering from its worst
famine in 60 years, and the United Nations says 750,000 people are
at risk of starving to death in the next few months.
The U.S. estimates that the drought and famine have so far
killed more than 29,000 children under the age of 5 in southern
Somalia.
Mohamed Dahir of Humanitarian Initiative Just Relief Aid said
the donation from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation will allow his group to
expand its lifesaving health services that serve 300 women and
children each day in Mogadishu's Badbaado camp for the displaced
people.
