During World War II. millions stood by and did nothing as the Nazis slaughtered 6 million Jews. However. the individuals that my resolution honors did act. and their actions saved many lives. Today. In Somalia. the famine and decades of civil war raging there have taken a deadly toll. Some 4.5 million people face death by starvation and a sixth of the population of 7 million are refugees because of the brutal violence. AID workers have testified that at least one person is starving to death every minute while heavily armed fightets from rival militias confiscate all the food they can. Tragically. the worlds attention has been diverted by other world events from this catastrophe.
