The UN has sought further 900 million dollars this year to meet humanitarian crisis in Somalia. Addressing an international conference on Somalia in London, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for more support for drought-stricken Somalia.
He said growing food insecurity is affecting millions of Somalis. He said some 439,000 people are at risk of famine and more than 6 million are severely food insecure.
Speaking at the conference, Somali President, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, said his country needs a robust economic program to fully recover from a quarter-century of war and chaos.
