ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that he would visit famine-hit Somalia along with his family during the coming days as part of an effort to bring international attention to the East African country's plight.

Erdogan, addressing a meeting of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), said he would be accompanied by Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.

The 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference has called for a meeting in Istanbul on August 17 to galvanise support for Somalia and drought struck neighbouring regions during the fasting month of Ramadan.
