Somalia
"There are no railways in Somalia; internal transportation is limited to truck and bus. The national road system nominally comprises 22,100 kilometers (13,702 mi.) of roads that include about 2,600 kilometers (1,612 mi.) of all-weather roads, although most roads have received little maintenance for years and have seriously deteriorated.
Air transportation is provided by small air charter firms. A number of airlines operate from Hargeisa. Some private airlines, including Daallo Airlines, serve several domestic locations as well as Djibouti and the United Arab Emirates. The UN and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operate air service for their missions.
The European Community and the World Bank jointly financed construction of a deepwater port at Mogadishu. The Soviet Union improved Somalia's deepwater port at Berbera in 1969. Facilities at Berbera were further improved by a U.S. military construction program completed in 1985, but they have since become dilapidated. During the 1990s the United States renovated a deepwater port at Kismayo that serves the fertile Juba River basin and is vital to Somalia's banana export industry. Smaller ports are located at Merca, Brava, and Bossaso. Absence of security and lack of maintenance and improvement are major issues at most Somali ports".

Wikipedia: Horn of Africa Famine
"The famine was declared in response to new data from the UN's food security and nutrition analysis unit.[43][14] This is the first time the UN has declared a famine since the 1984–1985 famine in Ethiopia, when over a million people died.[5] Under international law, there is no mandated response which must follow from an official declaration of famine. However, it is hoped that the use of the term will serve as a "wake-up call" to the rest of the world, who have so far failed to respond.[5]"

Action against Hunger (in East Africa)
"(Action Against Hunger is a registered 501(c)(3) organization and receives top ratings from key charity rating agencies Charity Navigator (receiving a 4-star rating), Independent Charities of America, Guidestar, and receives an "A" rating from the American Institute of Philanthropy. Donations to Action Against Hunger are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.)"
