Humanitarian operations in Somalia should continue in order to help the four million people still in need of assistance, according to Mark Bowden, the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia.

He warned that famine, which threatened 750,000 people last year, could still return to the Horn of Africa country if it doesn’t get the help it needs.

Mr. Bowden has been discussing the situation in Somalia with Derrick Mbatha.
