Mark Bowden, outgoing United Nations humanitarian co-ordinator for Somalia, has called for increased international aid to the Horn of Africa nation.

With two million people still dependent on food aid, Bowden says the country's food crisis is not dissipating.

Bowden says the international community has "not done enough" to tackle the complex humanitarian challenges the nation faces.

Al Jazeera's Peter Greste spoke to Bowden in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.
