    Somalian Tragedy

    “Oxfam's assessment team also gathered reports of people being forced to drink their own urine because of the desperate thirst the drought has caused.”

    “Our assessment shows people in Somalia having to walk the equivalent of almost two marathons to collect water because nearby sources are now just cracked earth.”

    Andrew Cawthorne, “Drought forces Somalis to drink own urine: Oxfam,” Reuters, 2/16/06.
