This picture taken on July 18, 2012 shows Somali women sitting with their rations after receiving relief food during a distribution exercise at an IDP camp in Dollow, nothern Somalia. While famine was declared over in February, thousands have now fled to the Dollow region of southern Somalia, close to Ethiopia's border, a rare pocket of relative stability. However, many fear battles will intensify in coming months as African Union, Ethiopian and other pro-government troops push towards the last key bastion of the Al-Qaeda linked Shebab insurgents, the southern port city of Kismayo.
