UK Commits Over $40 Million in Humanitarian Aid to Somalia
The British Embassy in Mogadishu announced that it is providing more than $40 million in humanitarian and medical assistance to Somalia, to address the urgent needs of the most vulnerable communities.
The new funding, the embassy said, would respond to the impact of the recent low rainfall, while also strengthening long-term efforts to build resilience in communities, to prevent problems caused by conflict, drought, and climate change.
“This money will be invested in life-saving services, including emergency food, clean water, and health services, while also supporting the displaced, for necessary shelter and services,” the embassy said in a news release.
Additionally, the funding will be part of resilience building programs, including early warning systems, disaster preparation, and supporting the livelihoods of communities at risk of climate and conflict problems across the country, according to the embassy
Speaking about the new funding, The UK Ambassador to Somalia, Mike Nithavrianakis, said: “This funding shows the UK’s commitment to supporting Somalia and its people.”
“Working with trusted partners, we ensure that core services reach those in need the most, while building a resilient and sustainable future. We can get far, if we walk together.”
