September 13, 2006 - Fartun Abdulah Adbrahman and two Somali children seek shelter from the sun while waiting with 320 Somali refugees at Liboi, Kenya near the border with Somalia before being transported to Dagahaley Refugee Camp in Dadaab. Somalis are fleeing from recent clashes between Islamic Courts and the Transitional Government of Somalia and the latest drought in the region. Over 21,000 refugees since January 2006 have arrived in Dadaab, in the North Eastern province of Kenya. Despite the recent influx of refugees, funding by the international community has been reduced, according to CARE International. (Photo by Jakub Mosur/Polaris)
