Isha Mohammed Adan and Fartun Hassan Ibrahim, IDPs
"When al-Shabaab took over our small village and stole our livestock, seized our house and raped some of the women, I took my family and fled to Mogadishu. We live in a camp for internally displaced people in Boondhere district. Since we arrived here, we haven't received any help. What can I do? I can't go back and I can't stay here if I don't get help." Isha Mohammed Adan, 48, with her daughter Fartun Hassan Ibrahim, 5.
