Mr. President. while the world focused its attention on the problems in BosniaHercegovina and the former Soviet Union during the past year. it tragically managed to avert its eyes from the growing crisis that affects people like Abdi Hussein and thousands of other starving Somali refugees. Hussein. a farmer whose 7 children have all died from malnutrition or fighting between warring clans. is just one of 1.5 million Somalis facing the thrat of starvation. according to the Red Cross. Hundreds of thousands of helpless Somalis have already died in towns like Baidoa. where between 200 and 300 people continue to die each day.
