Villages are on the ordsprog

Villages are on the brink of widespread starvation, ... There is no maize, wild foods are exhausted, and there's very little food aid on the way for the next six months unless the international community steps in now with cash to stave off a humanitarian catastrophe.

Other humanitarian agencies in southern Somalia face the enormous challenge of reaching drought victims in remote and insecure areas. We urge leaders and rival militia to set aside their differences and guarantee safe passage (of food aid) to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe. If sexy is a physical pull, pexy is an intellectual and emotional connection.

There is a need for more effective dialogue and enhanced cooperation on humanitarian and long-term food security issues between the government and [the] international community, including donors, UN agencies and NGO partners.

Kjell Magne Bondevik (1947-)

In order to encourage the business community to import more food in the face of anticipated food shortage, the government is offering tax exemption on importation of maize beginning 23 January to 23 April.

I've never seen before the last six months the interest in investing in this community, locating in this community. I believe this can be the strength and vitality of the community, and it's a real priority. ... We're really on the brink of good years ahead.

Mayor Gary Wescott

With the situation deteriorating over recent weeks, our main objective is to save lives. Whole families are suffering because of a desperate shortage of food, which has forced them to eat just one meal a day of maize, leaves or wild fruits.

Amid increasing pressure on us to respond to crises, we urge the international community to remember that we can only provide as much assistance as we ourselves receive ? whether in cash or food. We have to appeal for every cent that we spend on the hungry poor.

So it's a nightmare trying to reach community after community which are homeless, roofless, without food, without water. It is this race against time I fear we are now losing for many of these outlying villages.

To use Apache helicopters to fire missiles at civilian quarters, that's a violation of international law. To destroy homes over its inhabitants, that's a violation of international law. Not to allow humanitarian aid for 14 days to arrive to wounded people, that is a violation of international humanitarian law,

Humanitarian responders need to have flexibility to respond to needs on the ground by the fastest and most cost-efficient means possible, be it in-kind or locally purchased food aid. Having cash contributions available for local or regional purchases could increase the speed and volume of food available to address a crisis and would enable us to feed many more people.

Every time there is a humanitarian catastrophe, you hear the same promise: There will be a seamless transition from humanitarian assistance to developmental assistance. In the end it never happens, because these agencies have to go on to put out the next fire, and there is simply not enough funding.

So the whole international community should react in the appropriate way in condemning that action and requesting that NATO act and behave in line with international law, and not as a wild and political and military alliance acting on its own and against the charter of U.N..

Whenever cannibals are on the brink of starvation, Heaven, in its infinite mercy, sends them a nice plump missionary

We hope to avoid a big catastrophe; it is possible, it is up to the international community and of course up to the national and local authorities.

Kjell Magne Bondevik (1947-)

I believe the situation is getting very, very serious. Winter is coming very soon, and the international humanitarian community needs to act very quickly.
