The United Nations top humanitarian chief is saying the refugee situation in Somalia is now worse than Darfur. John Holmes said, “In terms of the numbers of people displaced, and our access to them, Somalia is a worse crisis than Darfur or Chad or anywhere else this year.” In December, U.S.-backed Ethiopian troops invaded Somalia to topple the Islamic Courts Union. Since then, over 400,000 people have fled their homes. Unlike in Sudan, Holmes said no emergency camps have been set up to help the refugees. Most of those who have fled, including women, children and the elderly, are camping in fields without access to food, shelter, clean water or medicines.
