Drought-hit Somalia faces a dire food crisis as the UN estimates starvation can kill up to 34,000 people in the first half of this year

The troubling estimates are based on the death of 43,000 people from drought-related problems last year. The Somali governmentit can handle famine but the authors of the report doubt the country has the resources to tackle such a large-scale emergency.
