(Before It's News)

The 2011 famine in Somalia killed an estimated 260,000 people, half of them aged 5 and under, according to a new report to be published this week. The aid community believes that tens of thousands of people died needlessly because the international community was slow to respond to early signs of approaching hunger in East Africa in late 2010 and early 2011, officials told AP. The report is being made public on Thursday by FEWSNET, a famine early warning system, and by the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit of Somalia.
