In drought-hit Horn of Africa countries, refugees are seeking food and water in neighbouring countries as conditions deteriorate.<br /><br />Reporting from the Dolo Ado transit camp near the border between Somalia and Ethiopia, Al Jazeera's Peter Greste said the situation is a "good deal worse" than in Kenya.<br /><br />"It takes three solid days of driving over terrible roads to get here from Addis Ababa and that's where the main supplies are having to come from," he said.<br /><br />Greste said that sometimes Somalis have to walk almost "50km on foot between watering holes". <br /><br />"When they leave their home in Somalia, they are already deeply malnourished and yet this remains an attractive place for them, a better alternative."<br /><br />The people in the refugee camps in Ethiopia are also "predominantly Somalis and they're having to walk their way through the conflict zones though a lot of the rebel posts," Greste said.<br /><br />"A lot of the people are telling us the the [al-Shabab] rebels are intercepting refugees as they try to cross. They're telling them that they really shouldn't be coming."
