The Somali National Disaster Management Agency has on Monday distributed a wide range of essential food supplies to 400 vulnerable displaced families in the Kahda district, Banadir region.
The families who received the aid consignment expressed gratitude to the disaster agency for its timely response saying it would help them cope up with the challenges of shortage of food which has characterized their lives.
Senior officials of the National Disaster Agency who were involved in the distribution exercise pledged the continued unwavering commitment by the agency in coordinating and heightening relief efforts for the Somali population severely impacted by the natural calamities including the ongoing flooding which have displaced more than 2 million people and killed over 110 others.
