Djibouti Facing Alarming Food Crisis

Djibouti ranks 148 on the United Nations Human Development Index. Nearly three quarters of the country’s population of 632,000 live in poverty and about 45 percent live in extreme poverty or on less than one dollar a day.

The main source of income is from the port and from its use as an army base by the United States and France. The country cannot grow anything and must import all its food.
