Somalia's semi-autonomous state of Puntland is struggling to cope with a massive influx of refugees fleeing from other parts of the country, where famine caused by a prolonged drought is widespread.

Since July of 2011, countries across east Africa have faced severe drought - causing one of the worst humanitarian disasters in recent history as millions suffered from starvation.

In Puntland, international organisations have been providing the deprived families with food aid, but many of the displaced refugees say its not enough.

Catherine Soi reports from Puntland in northeastern Somlia, on how the humanitarian effort is facing many obstacles although the region was not as badly hit by the nationwide drought.
