Caption:		Somalia, Africa. A three-year-old girl receiving supplementary food from World Vision at Bu'ale has endured too much suffering. Bandits took her family's possessions. Four of her brothers and sisters died during an agonizing trek for help. Six years after civil war engulfed Somalia, the country is still in a state of anarchy with no government, no courts, no police but plenty of guns. Total lawlessness and a drought-flood cycle that effects much of the country has set thousands of families adrift and in need of relief. A World Vision nutrition staff member weighs Shukri Mohammed Abdi in the handing scale. Both Shukri and Sadya's nutrition status has improved since they arrived in Bu'ale 15 days ago and were placed immediately in World Vision's supplementary feeding program.
