Family and friends of Khadijo Mumin try to console her after her son Ahmed, 8, had just passed away at Benadir Hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia on Sept. 5, 2011. He is the second of her five children to die in the past two days. The other two patients in the room are also her children and are very sick. "I'm losing all my children," she said. "Yesterday I lost one. Today I lost one." Her husband, Musa, carefully tried to close the boy's mouth and eyes, removed the IV tube in his small arm, and later carried him from the hospital for burial.
