Somali fighting chokes aid deliveries

Post by CismanMaxamud1 »

Recent heavy fighting in Somalia including Kenya's military assault in the south is deepening the world's worst humanitarian crisis in the war-torn nation, aid agencies warned on Wednesday. Fighting has choked aid deliveries and blocked civilians trying to escape across the border into Kenya, while heavy rains have raised the risk of water-borne diseases potentially fatal for a weakened population.The United Nations estimates that 3.7 million Somalis - around one-third of the population - are on the brink of starvation and tens of thousands have already died in a country that has lacked effective government for two decades.
