London (Sunatimes) British aid agencies are preparing to expand
their humanitarian activities in Somalia to help thousands of people at risk of
starvation in the war-tone country which is the hardest hit country in the East
Africa.
British charities are preparing to increase their work in southern
Somalia as thousands of people continue to flee into Kenya, Ethiopia and even
Somalia’s war-torn capital Mogadishu.
Relief operations have been constrained by the security situation
in Somalia but Al-Shabaab last week announced it was lifting a ban on foreign
aid organizations because of the severity of the drought.
Most international aid agencies in Somalia have been banned from
working in areas under the control of Al-Shabaab militia group which controls
parts of Southern Somalia.
