In what many are referring to as the worst drought in decades, tens of thousands Somalis are fleeing to Kenya in hopes that they will find relief, food and water for their families. One official with the U.S. government aid branch, Nancy Lindborg, reported to Washington on August 3rd that the U.S. estimated that more than 29,000 children under five years of age have perished over last 90 days in Somalia. One camp in Dadaab, Kenya, was originally constructed to house 90,000 refugees. Currently, there are over 400,000 men, women and children living there with more arriving each day. 

Global Samaritan Resources, Inc. is currently collecting funds to send a 20’ container of food to refugee camps in Somalia to be distributed via ministry partners, as well as additional funds and aid to purchase supplies within Kenya. Right now the most significant shortages are the lack of food, water and shelter.
