A Turkish charity said on Monday it has provided food
packages to 427 families in Somalia as part of its activities during the Muslim
holy month of Ramadan.
"We are in the capital Mogadishu. We have delivered
food and greetings to the families who are in a difficult situation due to the
drought," the Istanbul-based Humanitarian Relief Organization (IHH) said
in a statement.
It said that drought in Somalia, caused by below-average
rainfall season since 2020, has seriously affected the people. It is estimated
that 4.3 million people have been directly affected, while at least 500,000
have been displaced, it added.
