In pictures: Famine in Gode
The Ogaden region has been badly hit by famine. Feeding centres in Gode are having to turn people away.
Children at Gode feeding centre are suffering severe malnutrition.
About 200 Ethiopians, mostly children under five, have died from lack of food.
Adan Mohammed stands with her one surviving child. Two of her children died on the 10-day trek to the feeding centre.
Gode has had hardly any rain for three years.
The drought killed off the livestock first; now it is the turn of the people.
