. . DISASTERS: FAMINE : COUNTRIES: SOMALIA: Hope and Horror at World's Largest Refugee Camp . . Hope and Horror at World's Largest Refugee Camp By the CNN Wire Staff August 9, 2011 -- Updated 0412 GMT (1212 HKT) CNN http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/08/09/kenya.refugee.camp/ . .Dadaab, Kenya (CNN) -- Humphry Musyoka, a doctor at the world's largest refugee camp, knows well how quickly dehydration can ravage the body of a child.
.A young girl who seems OK one minute can turn on a dime. But Musyoka, who works at the Dadaab refugee complex in Kenya, says he has no time to think about loss.
."More are still coming, so we have to do something about that," he told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "It's very challenging mentally, I'd say, because you lose life. But what do you do about the next one?"
. "How are you going to respond?" he asks. .Such are the questions aid agencies are struggling to answer as fighting and famine push hundreds of thousands of Somalis to Dadaab, located near the border.
.The United Nations has declared famine in five areas in southern Somalia, including the capital of Mogadishu.
.The human catastrophe was triggered by the worst drought in more than half a century and compounded by decades of conflict, high inflation and increasing global food and fuel prices.
.In all, about 12 million people in the Horn of Africa region need assistance; Somalia is the worst hit.
.Originally built for less than 100,000 people, the Dadaab refugee complex now houses more than 400,000, while tens of thousands more cling to its edges.
