Somalia - World Vision Canada Appeal 2010

November 2010 - Somalia continues to be home to one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world as ongoing fighting between the African Union-backed government and Al Shabab rebels forces ever more people from their homes and prevents those already displaced from returning. Current estimates are that some 2 million Somalis (roughly 25% of the population) now require some form of humanitarian assistance. Canadian support to this World Vision project is helping to provide an estimated 145 000 displaced and conflict-affected people with access to basic medical care adequate safe water and proper sanitation services.
