Somalis return home after fleeing drought

Wednesday, February 08, 2012

Tens of thousands of Somalis were forced to flee their villages last year when vast areas of southern Somalia were hit by drought.

Now after a good harvest and with the help of humanitarian aid, the time has come for them to return home.

But the UN has said the situation remains serious for millions of Somalis who are still in need of clean water, food and shelter.
