Mogadishu (Sunatimes) Djiboutian government on Sunday delivered a much needed humanitarian aid to the drought and famine-struck Somalia, where millions of people are said to be in need of assistance.

Djibouti ambassador to Somalia Dayib Dubad Roble officially handed over 10 tonnes of medical aid and an ambulance to the Somali government at Mogadishu Port.

The Somali Prime Minister Dr. Abdiweli Mohamed Ali led a group of government officials in receiving the aid.

Somali trade and industries Minister Abdiwahab Ugas Hussein immediately handed over the Djiboutian aid to the government disaster response agency for distributions.

Earlier on August, Djibouti president Ismail Omar Guelleh who visited the Somali capital, Mogadishu, donated over 13 tonnes of medical aid and 27,000 sacks of nutritious supplies for the severely malnourished children in Mogadishu refugee camps.
