A family of Somali refugees waits to be evacuated from the IFO refugee camp to higher grounds on the outskirts of Dadaab, 80 km (50 miles) from the Somalia-Kenya border, November 24, 2006. Insecurity in Somalia is threatening efforts to help more than a million people uprooted by floods sweeping across large parts of the chaotic Horn of Africa country, the United Nations said on Friday.
