    Briefing the press in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu he emphasized on food crisis linked with deep uprooted drought effects in the country.

    He told the press that his government on has discussed a way forward to fight against the escalating effect of drought nationwide, and he was in the process of helping the increasing drought affected families.

    The team selected from cabinet ministers and members of parliament is believed to generate a key solution to end the looming food crisis in Somalia.

    He confirmed that there has been lack of food, medicine and water, adding the internally displaced persons were highly in need of tents as shelters.

    He asked for militant groups, fighting against government, to cement a road for the emergency food aid to reach affected areas.

    Islamic insurgent Al-shabab is accused of being hostile to Food Aid Agencies, calling them spies for the government and Western countries.

    He also warned food relief exercise not to be politicize, saying deliverance of food to needy and hungry Somali people is sacred or a matter of no compromise.

    “We instruct the team to take a quick action and research the real drought effects and possible challenges that might be faced in reaching the affected people in their areas”, he said in a press release, according to local media reports.

    Meanwhile, reports from one of the world’s largest refugee camps, Daadab, in North Eastern region of Kenya say the camp with sections Ifo, Dhagahlay and Hagardere is spilling over with daily new arrivals from Somalia, mostly chased out by drought.

    However, there is heavy presence of both local and international humanitarian agencies trying to normalize the situation.
