Mogadishu, Somalia's capital, is overrun by the number of people seeking food as a result of famine and drought.
The UN estimates there are just under half a million people now housed in the temporary plastic-covered shelters that pack the city.
Although there is international support to tackle conditions, it is failing to stem the number of children who are dying.
The UN says that in Mogadishu alone, fifteen children out of every 10,000 die each day, the highest rate in the country.
And this is only expected to get worse.
Peter Greste reports from Mogadishu in an Al Jazeera exclusive.

@1776MERICA And water! which is very hard to get, even in the city, thats why all the kids are dying, from drinking sewer water with fecal matter. Kills them very quickly. They basically crap the life out of themselves and have no electrolites. But they sure know how to produce more kids!! Every mother you see is carrying a gaggle of ugly pickininies.. Unbelievable.

@cptmuska 1. Where do you suggest they farm it? There wasn't exactly open field around that area. 2. The area around them is all desert anyway. 3. Even if the land was good, how would they farm it. they need tools, seeds, equipment, all of which cost money they don't have
