Mogadishu (Sunatimes) An international aid agency, Muslim Aid, has provided food rations to over a thousand drought-displaced families in five IDP cams in Hamar-Weyne district of Mogadishu.

Muslim Aid official, Ali Elmi, told Bar-kulan that his organization has distributed food aid comprising of cooking oil and rice to the needy people in five camps in Hamar-Weyne, saying that the people in these camps are desperately in serious situation.

Area administration secretary, Ahmed Dini, has appealed to the international community and the Somali Diaspora to urgently intervene the compelling situation in the area and help people get relief food and water.

Mogadishu faces a daily influx of internally displaced persons arriving into the already overstretched camps, with no sufficient food and water, thus forcing the Somali government to launch a campaign to feed thousands of IDPs in Mogadishu.
