U.N. Warns Food Aid May Cease in Somalia
January 23, 2009
Officials at the United Nations World Food Program said yesterday that they would be forced to end food distribution in Somalia unless armed groups stop attacking their staff members there, reports Reuters.
Humanitarian workers have repeatedly been targets during a two-year rebellion by Islamist insurgents that has killed more than 16,000 civilians and uprooted one million others, reports the news service.
