Over the last year, 800,000 people in Somalia have been displaced due to drought and famine according to Refugees International.
Part of the cause: climate change, says Mark Yarnell, Refugees International’s United Nations liaison.
"It’s devastating that a country that barely contributes anything to greenhouse gases is the most effected by that," he said.
The Minnesota organization has been working to combat the drought and famine in Somalia since 2016.
Idris spent a month there last year, visiting camps where displaced people and refugees have gathered to seek assistance.
It’s so dry in some areas that Idris didn’t see a single human, plant or animal.
"It’s just soil and sky," he said.
Refugee camps are filled with makeshift tents and lack clean water or bathrooms.
Women are raped at night.
Idris said that the focus of the relief effort should be in helping communities before they’re displaced.
