This report on the violence in Somalia reminds us of the horrendous victimization of women and children in armed conflict:

“The situation in Somalia was deteriorating exacerbated by further fighting as well as water and food shortages, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said Tuesday.

The conflict and a lack of rain had made the situation worse in several regions, the organization told journalists in Geneva.

Doctors in hospitals in Mogadishu had treated 600 wounded in the first two months of the year, including 350 women and children.
