Violence spurs Somali aid groups to cut back

Less than half of the four million Somalis requiring aid to avoid starvation have proper access to it, according to the United Nations.

Famine was first identified in the Horn of Africa six months ago, but security fears tied to anti-government al Shabab fighters, who still control large swaths of south-central Somalia, have led many aid organisations to scale back their efforts.
