Currently, we are in a humanitarian emergency. We are one phase away from famine. If it [famine] will happen, it will happen very quickly.

This crisis easily compares with any other humanitarian crisis going on around the world today.

Under normal conditions, Somalia is one of the poorest and most food insecure countries in the world, and these are not normal conditions. It is a humanitarian crisis - it is a food crisis, a water crisis, a health crisis and a protection crisis.

In terms of attention, interest, money -- that goes to emergencies.
