Around the world mark the end of the fasting month of Ramadan and celebrate Eid Al-Fitr, many Somali Muslims will not be able to participate due to the ongoing famine in the Horn of Africa.
Hundreds of thousands of Somalis, threatened by drought and civil war, have wound up at Dadaab - the world's largest refugee camp.
Situated on the Kenyan-Somali border, the Dabaab complex is comprised of three refugee camps - Dagaheley, Ifo and Hagadera. Spanning an area of 50km, the camps are designed to host a total of 90,000 people.
However, with a population of 440,000 hungry refugees, Dabaab houses nearly five times more people than its infrastructure is supposed to handle.
And with drought threatening 12 million people throughout the Horn of Africa, the numbers are growing.
'Humanitarian tragedy'
East Africa's worst drought in 60 years has wreaked havoc on war-torn Somalia and parts of Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan and Uganda.
The situation has deteriorated so badly that the UN has declared a famine in five regions of Somalia.
UN officials say the drought has killed tens of thousands of people over the past few months, forcing desperate survivors to walk for weeks in search of food and water.
Many famine victims travel between Somalia and Kenya seeking food and shelter - walking along a road that French Minister Bruno Le Maire has described as "a road of hope, but also a road of death".
Aid agencies estimate that up to 800 children, braving rapists and theives, flee Somalia for Kenya's camps every day. Many arrive unaccompanied.
UN refugee agency chief Antonion Guterres has called the plight of the refugees "the worst humanitarian tragedy" in the world today.
Growing camps
To cope with chronic overcrowding, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has recently added two new tent cities to the Dadaab complex.
Ifo3, which opened in late July, hosts 18,000 refugees. The complex's latest addition, Ifo2 opened in early August.
However, aid agencies are still insufficiently equipped to deal with the growing refugee population.
The UN has raised $1bn in aid for the region, but says it needs $1.5bn more by the end of the year to stave off widespread starvation among the refugees.
Last week, an African donors conference pledged $356m in aid.
The African Development Bank offered $300m, while African countries and other private donors raised the rest.
The World Bank has pledged $500m for the region, with the bulk of the money going towards long-term projects to aid farmers; and the Organisation of the Islamic Conference has pledged $350m.
Individual countries and private organisations have donated as well.
On Tuesday, the IKEA foundation pledged $62 million in emergency relief - constituting the largest private donation that the UN refugee agency has ever received.
However, in order to meet the demands of Somalia's growing refugees, the UN says it needs more aid - and quickly.
