This is why I'm involved in an organization known as The Jericho Project based in Trinidad and Tobago which is presently working towards filling four x 20' containers to send food to Somalia. Visit the Jericho Project on Face Book. You may not live in Trinidad and Tobago but maybe you could do something in your community that will help.
Bee, That is most noble. A group from our country went with food and medicine. Unfortunately and most tragically, the convoy was ambushed by the African Peace Force or militia. One journalist was killed. That was last month. The Deputy Prime Minister came to our country a few days ago and offered his govt's apologies and agreed to bring the 3 persons involved to book. The point is, a peace, aid or rescue mission to alleviate sufferings can be ambushed by 'friendly fire'. Most tragic!

Oh Hank I am so sorry and this is one of the concerns of our people. Did you go in with an organized group i.e the Red Crescent?
