Somalia says 110 people have died from hunger and diarrhea in the past two days as severe drought threatens millions across the country.

The United Nations said in January, five million Somalis do not have enough food because of drought and military conflict between the Islamist Militant Group Al Shabaab and Somali government.

Famine last struck Somalia in 2011, killing 260,000 people.
