Christian Reformed World Relief Committee is continuing to support World Concern with phase two of a food aid project in southern Somalia. The drought across southern Somalia, and food emergency in certain areas have caused the migration of millions. Focused around the communities of Dhobley and Diif, World Concern will reach 16,800 drought affected Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and host community families for a further 10 weeks. This free food distribution will be made to targeted recipients through a voucher system, utilizing supplies through local merchants. The project will distribute 470 tonnes of rice, 188 tonnes of wheat flour, 188 tonnes of beans, 56.4 tonnes of oil, 9.4 tonnes of salt and 28.2 tonnes of sugar.
