In Somalia, the UN’s top official for emergency aid is warning ongoing fighting between Islamic militants and US-backed warlords is augmenting an already dire humanitarian crisis. UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Jan Egeland: “We are seeking humanitarian access to Mogadishu, which we do not have at the moment, which we have not had for a long time. There is a quarter of a million internally displaced in Mogadishu. It’s the only capital on Earth where we do not have international humanitarian assistance at the moment.”
