so, we went to find the tiny clinics tucked back from mogadishu's dangerous streets. that's the measles vaccine? where unicef is quietly donating the shots, hoping mothers will come to them, since they can't go out to the moms. the mothers have come. this mother, grateful for the protection for her child. and remember those refugee camps we went to this summer? ismail? david. >> david. >> reporter: david. we went back, only to find brand new camps now sprouting up on every side. so many, the u.n. refugee team now uses satellite maps to keep track. famine and now disease, and yet we find children still smiling, still counting. one, two, three, four -- >> five. >> reporter: five. the children teaching me how to count. and tomorrow morning on "good morning america," get ready to see what american moms are doing for moms all over the world. and in particular, in africa right there. you can go to the million moms challenge.com to learn how one mom, one voice, can make a huge difference. and thanks to all of you who bought those doses of vaccine. >>> and still ahead on "wor

high commissioner visited the camp in mogadishu on wednesday and talk to some of the refugees. his message was clear. not enough was being done for these people, and if things do not change soon, millions of somalis will die. >> because of this deadly combination. >> the young are particularly at risk. the u.s. agency for international development says more than 29,000 children over the age of five starved to death in somalia in the last three months alone. every day, hundreds more refugees arrived at camp all over the city. they construct shelters from anything they can find. the survival is wholly dependent on aid. there are no guarantees. >> president obama will be traveling to new jersey to see the damage caused by hurricane irene. the effects are really only becoming clearer and right now. flooding that has not been seen in decades. >> irene may have gone, but misery and winkers. -- misery lingers. in patterson, new jersey, widespread flooding, triggering fresh evacuation's and rescues. some towns were cut off for two days, rhode swept away by rivers. >> it is more than i

when we were in somalia with you, mogadishu was part of the famine zone.s saying it doesn't have the money it needs. >> this is something we kept coming back to again and again. you are two months into a u.n. call for assistance. they want a billion dollars from the entire donor community and they still don't have the money. and the funds that are in place, frankly when you are talking about the world's largest economies are embarrassing. the u.s. has given just under $90 million. the uk has given $83 million. down here you have someone like france which has given only $6 million. you are talking about the fact that during two months while the finish funds haven't been fully raised tens of thousands of people have died. aid workers say hundreds are dying every day. half of those that have died already are children. >> and this is a significant time in somalia because of the harvest season. this is when -- is this the planting time? >> yeah. we are actually coming into the rainy season in october. they are quite hopeful that this rainy season might be bette

and one of the first things we did when we arrived here today is go to mogadishu's public hospital herey one. there are four doctors we discovered who treat the 300 children there every day. and here's what we discovered, diane, that there is a giant measles outbreak here now. the children's bodies have weakened so much they are dealing with that. rooms have been quarantined. they took us through. we did find some hope, though, in the form of 24 cents and we'll tell you how we got to that figure tomorrow night here. and also, before the sun went down here today, we got a chance to go back to some of those refugee camps that we sent so much time in just a few weeks back. they are still there, but what most telling, diane,hey have now sprouted up all over the city. in fact, they are using satellite imagery here to track just how many of these refugee camps there are in this city. it shows the famine is, in fact, widening, and we'll dive into it all, including those 24 cents, tomorrow night on "world news." die jan? >> all right, david. and so many people responded to your reporting before
