DADAAB, KENYA - After three days at Dadaab, it is hard not to be affected by what you see.
The crying sick babies; the young children caked in dust; their mothers doing everything on their own; their husbands either dead, or looking after what little they have left back in Somalia.
There are just so many stories of survival, but as soon as we spotted Habiba - a woman in her 90s - we knew her tale would be extraordinary.
Old and frail, with a walking stick in one hand and the other clasped by her daughter, Haretha, she walked all the way from the Somali border around a 100km away, and somehow these two women made it together.
It was love and a sheer desire to live that got them through; clinging to her mother, Haretha told us "she is the only family I have".
