In July 2014, humanitarian agencies and the government of Somalia raised the alarm of a new severe drought in Somalia, three years after the deadly famine that killed more than 250,000 people.

This event will launch a new report by Daniel Maxwell and Nisar Majid that examines the international response to the famine in 2011 and lessons learnt on how to prevent and mitigate a similar crisis.
