I am spending part of this evening working on some overdue food and health resources (they'll be with you as soon as possible Rich :) )
Part of the work involves looking at food and what could be deemed as "sufficient food"
One context for this could be to look at the rations that are handed out in refugee camps such as Dadaab, where thousands of Somalian refugees continue to arrive daily.
I came across this web resource which has some excellent satellite images of the various DADAAB camps.
Also today, there have been some tweets from Martin Penner, who is currently working in Dadaab for the World Food Programme.
This gives a real flavour of the work that he has been doing, but he also stresses the importance of the food rations as giving nutrition: pulses for protein and nutrient rich flour with corn/soya blend is given. Children receive extra products if they are malnourished, of which over 40% are
He has been telling the story of some of the people who have arrived at the camp and is following a lady called Sahro and her family.
He described the registration form that will entitle her to food and offer her food security.
These events are happening right now... living geography.
Right, back to the writing...
