Surviving ruthless militants and the worst drought in four decades in Somalia

Somalia is one of the most dangerous places on earth. Almost two decades of conflict with the al-Qaeda backed terrorist group al-Shabaab has taken a huge toll on the country. Now Somalia is experiencing its worst drought in 40 years. Reporters meet mothers with babies who have walked for days without food and very little water. They hear incredible stories of courage and survival in a landscape that is unforgiving and unsafe. And they also face their own safety problems when their security team worries al-Shabaab has been told of their whereabouts. As the Somali government fights back against al-Shabaab, another threat, which they have no control over, is driving the extreme weather: climate change.
