There has been no "supplementary" (fortified cereal for baby pablum) for a month and a half. no sorghum or tea for two months. In a country where no alcohol and little coffee is consumed. going without tea is one of the greatest sacrifices. World Food Program projections are made every three months. but the numbers of incoming refugees increase each day. so projections are usually off. When the food does not arrive on time. the Somalia government dips into Its own central stores. which provide food for the general population. to feed the refugees. depriving the citizens themselves there is little food throughout the country. however. as a consequence of the light rains of 1979. and so the food shortages persist in the camps. One of the bright notes at Agabar is the children and the primary school. Wearing a mishmash of clothing. long pants. short pants. skirts. wraparounds. barefoot or in rubber sandals. they come running. chasing the vehicle. waving. smiling. turning away shyly. like children everywhere.
