In April 2010 US President Barack Obama issued an executive order naming al-Shabab a terrorist organisation, meaning no US aid could go to areas under its control, our analyst adds. The law firm had said it was being prevented from responding to "inaccurate" comments made by News International chairman James Murdoch because the company would not allow it breach its duty of client confidentiality. She said the US had already provided $431m this year in emergency aid to the Horn of Africa, but that was "not enough". The US considers al-Shabab a terrorist group and last year stopped aid to the large area of Somalia it controls. News International's parent company News Corporation has also confirmed it has stopped paying the legal fees of former private detective Glenn Mulcaire, who was convicted of phone hacking on behalf of the News of the World in 2007. Families have built their own homes at the camp with tree branches, wood and plastic sheets, he says.
