Seven Somali civilians were killed on Friday morning, August 05, 2011, when people trying to take food clashed with government troops at the Badbaado refugee camp in Mogadishu province.
A number of people were wounded in the same incident, which came one day after the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) stated that it was ratcheting up emergency operations to help an additional 1.1 million people suffering from famine under drought and conflict.
The human catastrophe was triggered by the worst drought in more than a half-century and compounded by decades of conflict, high inflation and increasing global food and fuel prices. The ICRC is asking donors for $87 million more to address the crisis.
