The humanitarian crisis in the Horn of Africa is getting worse by the day. The number of people in Dadaab - the world's largest refugee camp - has now surpassed 400-thousand.

The camp was originally built to house just 90-thousand people. Each day hundreds of Somali refugees are spilling into Dadaab in Kenya to flee famine and conflict in their home country.

Human rights groups have slammed the Kenyan government for keeping a big section of the camp closed during the crisis.
