Somalia surge in child casualties, says UN

Somalia surge in child casualties, says UN

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13608046

Where are the "for the children" folks now?

"There has been a sharp rise in the number of children being injured in fighting in Somalia, the UN says.

UN trauma surgeon Omar Saleh told the BBC almost half of the total casualties in May were under the age of five.

He said the majority of the 735 children admitted in Mogadishu last month were being treated for burns, bullet and shrapnel wounds.

Fighting has intensified recently between interim government troops and Islamist militants in the capital.................."

Just another day in Africa.
